Spanish prosecutors are committing a hate crime against a trans-Caucasian woman.
El taxo mondo hombre cometh.
Poor stupid bitch. She should have stayed in a Mexican country. White countries are the only ones doing these oppression tax schemes. Mexicans just do VAT and charge you triple for Nikes and Nvidia cards or whatever.

Spanish prosecutors have called for a lengthy prison sentence and a huge fine for Colombian pop star Shakira over alleged tax fraud, the local media reported on Friday.
According to a report by EFE, the superstar, whose full name is Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, is accused of failing to pay the Spanish government €14.5 million ($14.72 million) between 2012 and 2014.
The prosecutors say that she lived with her partner, Gerard Pique, in Spain on a regular basis in Barcelona during this period, spending more than half of each year there, but maintained her official tax residency in the Bahamas until 2015. But Shakira claims she did not live in the country at the time and is therefore not obligated to pay taxes there.
The prosecution wants to give Shakira eight years and two months in prison as well as a fine of more than €23 million ($23.5 million). A trial date is yet to be set.
The indictment comes after the Colombian-born singer rejected a settlement on Wednesday in which she would have had to admit to wrongdoing. According to her lawyers, Shakira was “absolutely certain of her innocence” and decided to go to court to prove her point.
Shakira’s public relations team insists she has never tried to defraud the authorities. Moreover, Shakira has already paid the money demanded by the Spanish Tax Agency along with interest believed to be around €3 million ($3.04 million).
I support Shakira.
She at least tried to become white.
Big ups for trying hard.
She didn’t go fully Michael Jackson, become a total Nazi, denounce the Jews, be falsely accused of child molestation, and then get murdered.
But she still has time.
Asking these kind of overzealous abusive punishments makes you wonder who’s more of a danger to society the prosecutor or her?

This is not something new. The Spanish tax rules are some of the most confusing things ever! They accused Messi, Ronaldo and many other stars for similar tax fraud.

why isnt individuals who hire tax professionals get in trouble why not the tax professionals who prepare the taxes??? The average citizen is not a expert in tax law

She already paid over 18 million euros. She doesn’t owe anything! They wanted to settle the “criminal” case, but since she refused to be extorted out of more millions she doesn’t owe by taking their deal, they are threatening her with prison. 🙄
