‘There Was Never Any Fraud’: Shakira Wins Tax Battle in Spain After More Than Eight Years

The ruling comes as the singer prepares to conclude her historic Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour with a residency in Madrid in the fall.

Spain’s National Court has acquitted Shakira in a tax fraud case after eight years, ordering the government to return 60 million euros ($69 million) to the Colombian superstar. According to a judicial document obtained Monday (May 18) by Billboard Español, the court concluded that Shakira did not meet the minimum residency requirement to be taxed in Spain during 2011.

“After more than eight years enduring brutal public accusations and sleepless nights that took a toll on my health and my family’s well-being, the National Court has finally set the record straight,” Shakira said in a statement. “There was never any fraud, and the Administration itself was never able to prove otherwise.”
