Members of the Icelandic band Sigur Ros have been charged with tax evasion, three years after local authorities launched a probe into the avant-garde rock band's finances.
The indictment, issued by the District Prosecutor on Thursday, accuses the prominent musicians in the Nordic nation of submitting incorrect tax returns from 2011 to 2014, evading a total of 151 million Icelandic Krona .
While the tax case is pending trial, assets belonging to the four -- apartments and houses worth $6.5 million -- will remain frozen by the authorities. Two-thirds of the assets belong to frontman Jon Thor Birgisson, who currently lives in Los Angeles.
