The investigators have said that they will be questioning potential witnesses and accomplices, starting with a well-known incorruptible source, Shakira’s hips.

Fortunately they’re known for their complete honesty in all situations

Maybe the hips do lie, but only on their taxes

Shakira, and many artists, are known to have done this for a long time. They take a relatively small salary, but then accept huge bonuses on the side. The main salary is easy enough to obfuscate, but unfortunately for Shakira, the tips don’t lie.

Good. I used to think she was one of the sane pop idols, but it turns out she's just the same old piece of shit as the majority of them. I hope they make an example out of her waka waka her ass to white collar prison in cuffs.

I hate the idea that we have different kinds of prisons for different classes of people. In my opinion any kind of tax fraud or financial cheating on the public is a worse crime than most of the ones we currently punish with years of regular prison, except those causing physical / psychological harm to others.

It's also to do with how likely they'd be to escape and the potential damage if they were to escape that determines what kind of prison they're placed in.

If they think she might try to escape, she'll be placed in a prison with higher security if convicted.
