“The singer is fully confident of her innocence and therefore does not accept a settlement,” the statement said.The prosecutor’s office in Barcelona did not reply to a request for comment. Shakira is accused of failing to pay up 14.5 million euros in tax income between 2012 and 2014, a period in which Shakira’s representatives say she did not live in Spain.

The 45-year-old singer—dubbed “the Queen of Latin Music” -says she moved to Barcelona in 2015, where she lived with FC Barcelona soccer club defender Gerard Pique. They have two children and recently separated.
