Shakira once again has legal problems in Spain. This time, a Barcelona court opened a second investigation against him. He is accused of committing tax fraud against the Public Treasury for evading taxes in different years during his residence in the European country.

The crimes include fraud of more than 12 million euros in Personal Income Tax (IRPF) payments and more than €2 million in Wealth Tax.
