Colombian music star Shakira will stand trial in a Spanish court for allegations of tax fraud amounting to 14.5 million Euros.

A Barcelona court has ordered the singer to stand trial for six alleged tax crimes, although a date has not yet been set.

Spanish prosecutors want to jail the superstar for eight years and fine her 23.8 million Euros if she is found guilty.

The 45-year-old has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
