Shakira is facing a second probe into her taxes after a Spanish judge agreed to allow state prosecutors to investigate two potential cases of tax fraud involving the Colombian singer stemming from 2018.The court shared they had no information on the monetary sum being investigated in this case.

The international pop star is currently awaiting trial for failing to pay the Spanish government 14.5 million Euros ($15 million) in taxes between 2012 and 2014.

Shakira was previously offered a settlement agreement in that case, but rejected it, opting to go to trial. A date has yet to be set for that case, although prosecutors in Spain are requesting Shakira be sentenced to eight years and two months in prison and pay a fine of 24 million Euros ($24 million).

Shakira’s public relations firm, Llorente y Cuenca, said in a statement in Spanish to the Associated Press that she had "always acted in concordance with the law and on the advice of her financial advisers," and "is now focused on her artistic career in Miami." She "is calm and confident that she will receive a favorable resolution of her fiscal issues," they noted.
