This week, things took a slightly different turn when Spanish tax authorities set their sights on the partner of FC Barcelona footballer Gerard Piqué. Spanish tax authorities have charged Shakira with tax evasion for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014. Spanish tax authorities, however, claim that she was a resident of Spain, not the Bahamas, from 2011 through 2014. Spanish tax authorities now argue that Shakira owes more than 14.5 million euros ($16.4 million U.S.) in unpaid taxes. As part of their efforts to establish residency, tax investigators followed the singer to places she frequented, like her hairdresser.
