Barcelona who have reinforced their squad with the acquisition of Robert Lewandoski, Jules Kounde and Raphina to be competitive again in Europe, are in the United States on a pre-season tour with the aim of polishing the last details before the start of the tournaments.
One of the great figures of Xavi Hernández ‘s team is Gerard Piqué, although he has a lot of experience behind him, the 35-year-old defender has been involved in the media’s eye after his separation from Popstar Shakira. The end of the romance, which had begun in 2010, has had him distracted by new allegations coming from all over Spain and the world.
Already with his goals set for the new season, Pique went through an uncomfortable moment in the run-up to one of the friendlies that the Blaugrana played against Juventus from Italy.
Once the team was in the locker room of the Cotton Bowl stadium in Dallas, “I congratulate you” (how well you act) was been played on the loudspeakers, the last song of the Colombian singer that many of her fans related to her ex, which provoked some chuckles and knowing glances in the team.
Gerard Pique’s ex-partner Shakira could face more than an 8-year prison sentence over a €14.5 million tax fraud
Prosecutors in Spain said on Friday that they would seek a prison sentence of more than eight years for Popstar Shakira after she rejected a plea deal over tax evasion allegations.
Prosecutors in Barcelona will also seek a fine of nearly 24 million euros ($24.5 million) from the 45-year-old “Hips Don’t Lie” singer, accusing her of defrauding 14.5 million euros from the Spanish tax office between 2012 and 2014.
Shakira, who has sold over 60 million albums, rejected a plea deal on Wednesday, saying she was “absolutely certain of her innocence” and had decided to go to court, “confident” that her innocence would be proven. A formal referral to court has yet to be announced, and no trial date has been set.
Lawyers for Shakira, one of the biggest names in global music, say an agreement is still possible until the trial begins. Prosecutors claim Shakira relocated to Spain in 2011 after her relationship with FC Barcelona defender Gerard Pique became public, but she kept her official tax residency in the Bahamas until 2015. The couple, who have two children together, separated in June.
