POP star Shakira faces up to eight years in jail if she's found guilty of an alleged massive £12m tax fraud. The Colombian-born 'Hips Don't Lie' singer, 45, is charged with defrauding the Spanish treasury out of millions over a three-year period between 2012 and 2014.
Spanish prosecutors are pushing for the highest-possible sentence over six separate counts of tax fraud totalling 14.5 million euros (£12.2m).
