Legendary Latin/Pop singer Shakira is in a dire legal predicament that could land her in prison for up to eight years after she allegedly neglected to pay the Spanish government taxes from 2012 to 2014. Although the "Queen of Latin Music" is a renowned Columbian native, she bought a home in the Pedralbes neighborhood of Barcelona, Spain, back in 2012, where prosecutors claim she spent at least have of her time, over the course of the next three years that followed. According to a recent indictment, which features six charges against her, the Spanish government claims that the 12-time Latin Grammy Award winner owes them 14.5 million euros due to her crimes. It is also being reported that prosecutors may also seek a fine of 24 million euros. This notion clearly didn't sit well with Shakira, as she reportedly rejected their offer for a settlement deal last week. Instead, this legal matter will be settled in court. No trial date has been scheduled as of yet.
