Shakira compares Spanish tax office to 'Inquisition'

MADRID, Spain — Colombian pop star Shakira accused Spain's tax office of confiscating all the income she earned when she lived there, comparing the institution to 'the Inquisition' in a letter published Wednesday in Spanish daily El Mundo.

The 'Hips Don't Lie' singer reached a settlement in 2023 to avoid a trial in Barcelona over alleged tax fraud.
