Shakira had to pay over 20 million Euros to the Spanish authorities to settle part of a debt the government claims she owes as part of an ongoing investigation of a possible tax fraud.

Barcelona’s El Periodico reports the fraud investigation seeks to establish whether Shakira legally resided in Spain with her longtime boyfriend, Barcelona Futbol Club soccer player Gerard Piqué, between the years 2011 and 2014.

As People magazine reports, Spanish law states that if an individual spends more than 183 days in the country, they are considered a legal resident and liable for paying taxes on income acquired internationally. However, those spending fewer than 183 days in Spain would only be accountable for income earned within the country.

Shakira was quick to say that the majority of these years she was in the Bahamas, and filed her taxes accordingly.
