Shakira has reportedly filed a lawsuit against her former boyfriend Antonio De La Rua for taking almost 6.7 million dollars without her consent.

EFE has discovered that the former 'The Voice' coach accused her former flame of awarding himself a 2 million dollars bonus, making use of another 958,476 dollars and charging 363,910 dollars on one of her credit cards without her permission, the Huffington Post reported.

Two of the singer's companies, Carpe Diem and Light Productions, who are part of the Caribbean lawsuit, have asked De La Rua to return another 500,000 dollars he had put towards a real estate project in Bonds Cay, Bahamas, which the 36-year-old Columbian singer was not a part of.

The son of former Argentine President Fernando de la Rua and the Colombian singer were together for over eleven years before calling it quits in 2010, after which he sued the 'Hips Don't Lie' star in New York for 250 million dollars in compensation for the years he helped manage her career.
