Pop star Shakira accused the Spanish Treasury of using "unacceptable methods" against her to "persecute" her in order to malign her image. To note, she is accused of not paying £12 million in taxes to the Spanish government between 2012-14. The trial is pending, and if found guilty, she could face eight years of imprisonment and be charged a fine of £23 million. Singer's spokesperson said she will be fighting for her innocence in court.
