Shakira<\/strong> is firing back at Spanish prosecutors, claiming she’s the victim of a smear campaign and has the receipts to prove it.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
<\/p>\n\n
The singer filed legal docs Friday in Spain, answering she failed to pay more than $14 million in taxes for income earned from 2012 through 2014.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Shakira says during that period, she was NOT a resident of Spain. According to the laws of the country, she’s required to pay taxes if she spends 183 days or more there in a single year.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

She says during the period in question, she actually paid $10,141,075 in taxes to the US government — this is the time when she appeared as a coach on “The Voice.” She says she was not in Spain for the requisite period of time — 183 days.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Prosecutors are seeking an 8-year prison sentence and a $24 million fine if she’s convicted in the upcoming trial, but she says in new legal docs she’s paid more than $90 miles to Spain’s version of Uncle Sam.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/p>\n\n
Shakira claims the government is also gunning for her failure to pay in 2011 … she says she was on a global tour and only spend a grand total of 60 days in the country.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
<\/p>\n\n
She says prosecutors have violated her right of privacy and the presumption of innocence by putting her on blast the way they have. She calls it a smear campaign.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n
