Description
The court session lasted only about 10 minutes, and all parties present, including prosecutors and the defense, told the judge they agreed to the settlement.
The settlement’s “compliance agreement” read aloud in court by the judge on Monday morning in Barcelona and later released by the court’s press office, said Shakira will pay a fine of €7.3 million euros, or about $7.9 million, representing half of the tax amount “defrauded.” She has already paid back the $15.6 million, the agreement said, a copy of which was viewed by CNN.
Prosecutors had asked for more than 8 years in prison for Shakira if she were convicted on all six counts of tax fraud at issue in the case. But the settlement said it that would just be three years, and instead of prison, she would pay fines of about $437 per day for the sentence, or just over $470,000.
The court session lasted only about 10 minutes, and all parties present, including prosecutors and the defense, told the judge they agreed to the settlement.
