Shakira settles tax fraud case with €7.5m fine, toddler falls for hilarious parent trick

Colombian pop star Shakira has settled a tax fraud case with Spanish prosecutors by paying a €7.5m fine, just as her trial was about to begin. Prosecutors had sought an eight-year jail term and a €23.8m fine if she was found guilty. The case revolved around allegations that Shakira listed her official residence outside of Spain while living there between 2012 and 2014. Shakira, who denied any wrongdoing, said she settled with the best interest of her children in mind and wanted to move past the stress and emotional toll of the case.
