- Shakira has to pay up
- The singer reached an agreement in the tax evasion trial
- This is what happens next
On Monday morning, Shakira appeared in court in Barcelona. She was accused of evading 14.5 million euros in taxes between 2012 and 2014.
She faced a possible eight-year prison sentence. However, the singer denied everything.
They came to this agreement
Now, it seems she had a change of heart: Shakira reached a settlement shortly before the trial, admitting to tax evasion.
A payment of several million euros as back taxes had already been made.
