Shakira Cleared of Additional Tax Fraud Charges in Spain

A Spanish court has dismissed further allegations against Shakira, citing insufficient evidence, months after a prior settlement.

Shakira avoids new charges in a tax fraud investigation for her 2018 income, following a lack of evidence.
Previously, the singer settled a separate case from 2012-2014, paying fines and receiving a suspended sentence.
Spanish law requires tax payments from residents living over six months in the country, a point of contention in Shakira's cases.
Despite settling earlier charges, Shakira has consistently denied any intentional wrongdoing.
The dismissal may mark an end to Shakira's legal troubles in Spain, pending no further appeals from prosecutors.
