Shakira accuses Spanish taxman of “using her” to set an example

Shakira has blasted the Spanish Tax Agency for “using her” for exemplary purposes, to the point of “violating” her right to privacy.

The famous singer, who is being investigated for alleged tax fraud, maintains that since 2011 she has paid more than 104 million euros in taxes worldwide.

Her lawyers’ brief

Shakira has been charged with tax evasion of 14.5 million euros between 2012 and 2014, when she allegedly pretended that she did not reside in Spain.

EFE has had access to Shakira lawyers’ brief, in which she accuses the Spanish tax agency of having mounted a “media campaign” with the sole objective of “forcing” the singer so that, “despite her innocence, she pleads guilty and comes to an agreement with the accusations”.

For the defense, the Tax Agency has acted with the “unacceptable purpose” of “instrumentalizing” the Colombian singer with “exemplary purposes for the rest of Spanish taxpayers”, and for this purpose it has carried out “unusual actions” during the investigation of the case.

Specifically, Shakira‘s legal team reproach the Treasury for having resorted to “measures that violate the right to privacy such as requests to medical centers to obtain reserved information such as appointments and exams results” in order to demonstrate that between 2012 and 2014 the artist resided in Spain more than 183 days a year and, therefore, she was obliged to pay taxes in this country.

The defense of the Colombian star, however, claims to have “reliable evidence” that, “without the slightest hint of doubt”, she did not spend in Spain most of the year. As stated in the certificates of the Bahamian authorities, she was a tax resident in the country from 2004 until the end of 2014, when she settled in Barcelona due to her relationship with footballer Gerard Pique.

For this reason, they maintain that it is “radically false” that she simulated her residence in the Bahamas and emphasize that, since she began a relationship with Pique in 2011, her visits to Spain to meet with the footballer, “in the few free days that her intense professional agenda allowed her”, were always “publicized” even in her own social networks.

When in 2014 she decided to settle in Barcelona with Pique she communicated it “expressly” for the appropriate purposes to the Tax Agency, which accepted it “without discussion, thus assuming that until that date she had not resided in our country”, and since then she has “scrupulously” paid her taxes in Spain despite not being the “center of economic interests”

Shakira claims that in 2011 she spent at most 60 days in Spain, as her world tour included performances in cities such as Abu Dhabi, Bologna, Budapest, Bucharest, Belgrade, Croatia, Munich, Beirut, Minsk, St. Petersburg, Moscow, Rabat, Leon, Tijuana, Hermosillo, Genoa and Puerto Rico.

Atlanta councilwoman regrets establishing ‘Kanye West Day’ after his George Floyd comments

Natalyn Archibong is a former Atlanta city council member who initiated a strong campaign to have a Kanye West Day back in 2021. Now after Kanye’s rambles about George Floyd having died of a fentanyl overdose rather than police brutality, the ex-councilwoman terribly regrets having a part in the city’s day named after the rapper.

She wants to distance herself from Ye

Natalyn Archibong has said that she wants to distance herself from the rapper and producer after the anti-Semitic remarks as well as all of the drama that has circled around Kanye West recently after he resurfaced and has been apparently off the rails dishing out one controversial statement after another.

Kanye West was born in Atlanta

The former congresswoman was part of Atlanta’s city council last year and she mentioned that there were several reasons why back in 2021 she spearheaded the Kanye West Day initiative. First and foremost, West was born in Atlanta, Georgia, secondly Donda West attended Morris Brown College, and according to Natalyn “the proclamation was an acknowledgment of his substantial contribution to the arts.”

Kanye West Day was named the day he began his Donda tour in Atlanta on July 22, 2021

Natalyn has mentioned that she did not want to revise history, but if she’d known how West was going to react, she would have not taken the initiative to honor the rapper with a very important distinction.

It can’t be erased or repeated

The thing about having a day named after a person is that it can’t be taken back, according to her, and it can’t be repeated either.

Archibong also commented that the “July 2021 proclamation did not envision that in 2022, the artist formerly known as Kanye West would boldly make such ugly and hurtful statements.”

FBI not expected to reopen investigation into Brad Pitt following Angelina Jolie claims

Back in 2016, Angelina Jolie claimed to the FBI that her ex-husband Brad Pitt injured her after drunkenly pushing her on board a private jet.

The incident allegedly left their six children upset, but the FBI are reportedly not willing to reopen investigation on the matter.

“The statute of limitations is way gone and they have seen all the information at hand,” a source told Page Six.

“There is nothing new here. At the time they considered all of Angelina’s allegations and didn’t bring any charges.

“The FBI investigated the incident thoroughly, there is zero chance of them reopening the case. This is all a concerted effort to smear Brad.

“Angelina’s claims were raised in at least two different legal contexts: the incident on the plane and then again during a lengthy custody trial. In one case, there were no charges brought and in another, Brad was granted 50/50 custody.”

The two actors are divorced, but there is still a custody dispute over their minor children: Zahara, Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox.

“This is six-year-old stuff that Angelina presented in the custody hearing,” Pitt’s friend told Page Six.

“This is a six-year long campaign by Angelina to discredit Brad.

“This is really just Angelina’s version of events. This is what she claims happened.

“These claims were raised in the custody hearing and the judge obviously didn’t believe her, otherwise Brad would never have been given joint custody.”

Everything is going great for Johnny Depp, is he dating this beautiful redhead ?

Johnny Depp was recently seen with a redhead bombshell during his tour with Jeff Beck while promoting his album titled “18”. They were both photographed without their knowledge and although they were not showing any signs of affection publically, there is a lot that could be speculated.

They were both seen coming and going to rehearsals and probably it is just smoke, mostly because there have been many romantic attributions to the Hollywood phenomenon, and nine times out of then everything comes out to be a hoax.
