According to the singer, in a statement to the Spanish newspaper el Mundo, the agreement was made to protect her children.
Shakira also claims she was pressured to act quickly to avoid harming her and her family’s well-being. The artist maintained her innocence for nearly five years before reaching this agreement.
In her account, the singer criticized the authorities, stating that they were more interested in attacking her publicly than listening to her explanations. Shakira accused the government of trying to incriminate her after her formal move to Spain in 2015, claiming that when she moved, the tax authorities attempted to collect taxes for a previous period.
Shakira also highlighted that she has always met her tax obligations and was even cleared after an IRS investigation, claiming to have paid more than she supposedly owed due to unjustified fines.
After her separation from Gerard Piqué, Shakira moved to Miami, USA, and requested privacy to protect the psychological and emotional well-being of her children.
