After putting aside her problems with Gerard Piqué and her possible relationship with Lewis Hamilton, Shakira has once again been the protagonist this week due to another pending issue: her irregularities with the Treasury. During this Friday morning, the first statement that the Colombian singer made before the judges in 2019 was leaked, leaving many details of her private life with the former Barça soccer player on the air. A few words that, beyond the sentimental theme, have surprised Susanna Griso a lot.
The Antena 3 morning show, ‘Espejo Público’, has been one of the many programs and media outlets that have echoed this leak and commented on it in detail. However, her presenter has been upset with some of the words that Shakira left about the state of control in Spain. Some criticism by the Colombian of the business system that Griso considered incorrect, warning his collaborators that the defense was “to get popcorn.”
“What Spain generates for me in terms of business, in income, is minuscule, it can be comparable with Turkey or Greece… I am in a country where it generates almost none of my income,” said the singer four years ago in the tribunals. Not only that, but in addition to her, she affirmed that for her being in Spain meant a sacrifice for her musical career, since she lacked the methods of artistic production that she could find in the United States.
Griso was surprised by these words and immediately replied during the broadcast of the program. “That’s not true. I can’t believe that she bills the same in Spain as in Greece or Turkey, I… forgive me. Spain is a Latin market that has to be stronger than Greece or Turkey,” he said. the presenter Even so, the native of Barcelona agreed on the differences between the Spanish music market and the American one, but not with the rest of Europe.
“That the music industry is in Miami much more than in Spain, yes. That Miami is a better base for the Latin market than Barcelona, ??without a doubt, but it does not bill the same in Spain as in Greece or Turkey,” replied Griso, who also left a forceful statement to round off his opinion on this matter: “If Shakira takes a song against the treasury would have more support than the one he released against Piqué and Clara Chía”.
Shakira’s irregularities with the Treasury are divided into two causes, an administrative one due to the prescription of the case in 2011 and a criminal one. For the first, the Colombian would face a fine of 60 million euros, while in the second she could be sentenced to eight years and two months in prison and pay a penalty of 23.8 million. The trial, for an alleged fraud of 14.5 million between 2012 and 2014, aims to take place in November.
