<p>Pop singer Shakira, full name Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll, could face up to eight years and two months in prison if prosecutors in Spain have their way.</p>
<p>Prosecutors asked a court in Spain on Friday for the pop star to face the lengthy prison sentence if convicted of alleged tax fraud in an expected trial, the Associated Press <a href="https://apnews.com/article/entertainment-sports-soccer-music-5038d7fbe5db2b54404303acabe7bee1">reported</a>.</p>
<p>The 45-year-old was indicted on six charges earlier this month, but she rejected a settlement deal and opted for a trial.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-75 Component-p-0-2-66">Shakira allegedly failed to pay the Spanish government what&#8217;s equivalent to about $15 million in taxes between 2012 and 2014, the report said.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-75 Component-p-0-2-66">On top of the years-long prison sentence, prosecutors want the &#8220;Hips Don&#8217;t Lie&#8221; singer to pay a fine equivalent to about $24 million.</p>
<p class="Component-root-0-2-75 Component-p-0-2-66">The singer &#8220;has always cooperated and abided by the law, demonstrating impeccable conduct as an individual and a taxpayer,&#8221; Shakira&#8217;s publicists said in a statement released Friday.</p>
<p>The mother of two deposited what she owes to the government, plus millions more in interest, Shakira&#8217;s public relations team claimed this week.</p>
