Shakira Flaunting Her Lavish Life On Luxury Boat Despite Facing Possible Jail Time After Being Accused Of $16.4 Million Tax Evasion

Shakira is still living her best life, despite possibly facing time behind bars after being accused of tax evasion.
The 44-year-old Colombian bombshell was caught relaxing on a luxury boat just weeks after a judge ruled the singer should go to trial for tax evasion in Spain.
The Hips Don't Lie hitmaker put on a brave face while jumping onboard the gorgeous sea vessel with her longtime partner, Spanish football star Gerard Piqué.
Shakira and her baby daddy were seen soaking up the sunshine while cruising around Spain’s Costa Brava with their two children — sons, Milan, 8, and Sasha, 6 — over the weekend.
Taking in the sights, Shakira didn't seem bothered about the latest development in her legal woes.
Paparazzi snapped away, catching the singer sunbaking with her professional athlete beau. While Gerard sported a pair of swim trunks, Shakira kept them guessing in a pair of itty bitty velour shorts.
Instead of slipping into her bikini, the three-time Grammy winner paired the casual look with a matching green sweatshirt.
The gusts of wind couldn't stop Shakira from oiling up her man.
She was spotted rubbing Gerard down while he laid on his stomach as she sat beside him on the sundeck.
Their children ran around while Shakira and her partner seemed to have a bit of a lover's spat, putting a pause on their relaxing family time.
It's a bold move for Shakira to flaunt the good life as she awaits the next step in her tax evasion troubles.
After a three-year investigation, Judge Marco Juberías said he found “sufficient evidence of criminality" and recommended the case go to the next step — a trial judge.
In 2019, the Beautiful Liar singer was charged with failing to pay 14.5 million euros -- which is $16.4 million -- in taxes to Spain between 2012 and 2014, despite her living in the country most of that time.
Shakira has maintained her innocence, testifying three years ago denying any wrongdoing.
Her public relations firm even claimed she paid what was owed after she was given the bill by the Tax Office.
Shakira faces a possible fine and potential jail time if she's found guilty of tax evasion.
