Shakira’s companies appear among the 13 million documents in the ‘Paradise Papers’. Journalist Joaquín Castellón is part of the international consortium carrying out the investigation: “There is no doubt, Shakira is behind these companies in tax havens.” The Investigation Team collected her words in a 2022 program that laSexta re-broadcast this Friday.
“Two companies appear, one in Luxembourg and the other in Malta. They are branched with others around the world and with other tax havens,” indicates the investigative journalist.
According to Castellón, the objective was to “move their musical assets.” Furthermore, he highlights that there is an operation that attracts attention: “From Luxembourg to Malta sells shares worth 30 million for one dollar. Why do you change from Luxembourg to Malta? Possibly to pay less taxes. Malta is a tax haven, Luxembourg also, but in Malta you barely pay taxes and you don’t live there. Why do you set up a network of companies around the world in tax havens? The normal thing is that it is to avoid taxes, to evade, to disappear, so that no one links you to that society”.
The ‘Paradise Papers’ help investigators locate the architect of Shakira’s ‘offshore’. The company investigated in Malta was created by Ezequiel Camerini. “He is Shakira’s global advisor, initially he is accused in the case for having made the connection with the singer. They avoided payment to the treasury. At the same time he is Shakira’s most trusted person at that time,” emphasizes Álvaro Medina , Merca2 journalist.
