“Colombian pop star Shakira is facing a lengthy jail sentence and a massive fine in Spain, where authorities have accused her of evading taxes worth €14.5 million, or around $14.8 million.

Spanish prosecutors are accusing Shakira of committing six cases of tax fraud, and recommend a sentence of eight years and two months accompanied by a hefty fine of over €23 million ($23.5 million), Spanish outlet El País reported on Friday.
