00:00Shakira may be innocent of the tax fraud allegations brought against her, as Spanish prosecutors
00:06are now asking a second investigation into the star be dropped.
00:10Pop star Shakira is being investigated for tax fraud based off of her 2018 earnings,
00:15after being accused of evading 6.7 million euros, or around 7.2 million US dollars.
00:22Shakira claimed that there was no wrongdoing for the 2018 tax year, but did end up making
00:27a deal with the Spanish government in a different case, after she admitted she didn't pay 16.6
00:32million US dollars in taxes between 2012 and 2014.
00:37However, the star may be in the clear when it comes to her 2018 taxes, as on Wednesday,
00:42the same state prosecutors who brought the case forward shared that there is not sufficient
00:46evidence, and suggested that the second probe into the star's finances should be dismissed.
00:52In an official statement, the court shared,
00:54There is no indication that can prove that Shakira Isabel M. R. had consciously and voluntarily
00:59omitted information and documentation with tax significance.
