Shakira has been acquitted of tax fraud as Spain's High Court has ordered the Treasury to reimburse the Colombian singer with over 60 million euros ($69.8 million) in fines she had paid plus interest, according to a court document seen by Reuters on Monday.
Spanish prosecutors had charged pop music star Shakira with tax evasion, alleging she failed to pay more than 14.5 million euros (USD 16.3 million) between 2012 and 2014. The charges published earlier in December allege Shakira listed the Bahamas as her official residence for tax purposes during those years but was in fact living in Spain with her partner, Spanish soccer player Gerard Pique.
