I have to choose my battles and the most important one for me now is to do everything so that my children live a full life and focus on what is really important: watching them grow and spending time with them. Without subjecting them to the anguish of seeing their mother in a criminal trial with the wear and tear that entails. They themselves have asked me, and for them I have made this decision.. They have lived through very hard times and I want them to finally see me happy and look together towards the future, he said in a statement after learning of the resolution of the Barcelona Court.

A resounding yes, Pau MolinsShakira’s lawyer, has granted an interview to RAC 1in which he spoke about the resolution of the case that affected his client and also criticized the fiscal inequality that exists between autonomous communities. The lawyer assures that three of the six crimes accused of the artist do not exist in other Spanish autonomous regions.. They talk about equality for Spaniards, but if you are a resident of Catalonia, you can go to jail for a crime that is impossible in Madrid, doing the same behavior because there is no estate tax.
You don’t need to threaten people to get them to pay their taxes.
Molins questions this aspect and recognizes that Shakira’s love affair has cost him up to 120 million euros. If she had fallen in love with Ramos she would have cost him less money. On the other hand, the lawyer criticizes that said process has been channeled through the criminal route instead of the administrative one, given that he maintains that There is no need to threaten people with prison sentences to get them to pay their taxes..
The lawyer states that he recommended his client go to trial because of the chances of winning it, but she preferred to reach an agreement for fear of going to prison. The fear of risk is always there. In this case the risk was more theoretical than practical, but the main reason that moved us was the well-being of their children and turning the page on Spain, a bygone stage..
