- Pop star Shakira reached a settlement on Monday with Spanish prosecutors, avoiding a trial in a tax evasion case.
- While the agreement involves substantial fines, totaling around 7.3 million euros or approximately $8 million, it prevents the singer from facing jail time, accompanied by a three-year suspended sentence, according to court documents reviewed by ABC News.
- Spanish prosecutors had accused Shakira, a Colombian artist, of tax evasion in December 2018, alleging that she did not pay more than 14.5 million euros, approximately $14.4 million, for the years 2012 to 2014.
