Shakira's Twitter fans have her back
Columbian superstar Shakira has attracted the unwanted attention of a Spanish prosecutor who says that the "Latin Beyoncé" owes over 14.5 million euro in unpaid taxes.
Shakira could face eight years in prison for failing to pay taxes between 2012 and 2014. She insists that she did not live in Spain during that time, according to reports.
