There is a shocking update in Shakira‘s ongoing legal battle in Spain. A Spanish prosecutor is seeking a prison term of eight years for the 45-year-old “Whenever, Wherever” singer over a $14.5 million tax fraud case, via Reuters.

The singer denied any wrongdoing during her testimony in June 2019. It was reported back in May that she had been denied an appeal in the case, upholding a ruling in which a judge said there was “sufficient evidence of criminality” for the case to go to trial.
