A judge in Spain ruled on Tuesday that the singer must be tried for tax fraud in the country, as prosecutors are seeking eight years in prison for her for not paying her taxes.
The singer was accused of tax evasion by Spanish prosecutors because she spent more than half her time in Spain between 2012 and 2014, despite her official residence being in the Bahamas.
According to the report, she didn't move to Spain until 2015, but she is related to the Catalonia region.
The singer ended her relationship with the soccer player after 10 years, with whom she has two children.
In May, she lost an appeal to avoid trial, and in June she turned down a settlement offer from prosecutors.
According to her representatives, she did not owe taxes to the country and did not have debt to Spain.
The trial date has not been set.
I didn't spend a lot of time at that time. I was busy with my work. I paid everything they claimed I owed before they sued. As of today, I don't owe them anything, according to the singer. I was advised by one of the four biggest tax specialist firms in the world, and I was confident that I was doing things right from the beginning. She said that Spain has gone after other celebrities and that it is just their way of doing things.

According to The Guardian, she moved her intellectual property rights and trademarks to a Maltese company in 2009. A representative for the singer told the outlet that Tournesol would fulfill all legal requirements. All of the corresponding information relative to this entity is public and transparent, and that her Bahamas residence was one of many places she has resided in throughout her career.
The singer is making new music, healing, and having her say.
