Shakira's Last-Minute Deal: Avoiding Prison in Spanish Tax Fraud Case

Colombian singer Shakira has reached a last-minute settlement with Spanish prosecutors in her tax fraud case, avoiding a trial. She will receive a suspended three-year sentence and pay a fine of 7.3 million euros. Shakira had been accused of failing to pay over 14.5 million euros in income taxes between 2012 and 2014. While she maintains her innocence, she chose to settle to protect her family. However, she will have to pay an additional 432,000 euros and her legal record will reflect a guilty verdict, potentially affecting separate tax evasion charges she still faces.

"Massive Cocaine Bust: Spanish Authorities Seize Record 9.5 Tons in Banana Shipment, Targeting 30 Drug Rings"

Spanish authorities seized a record-breaking 9.5 tons of cocaine in a banana shipment from Ecuador that was intended for 30 European drug rings. The shipment, discovered in the port of Algeciras, was marked with logos corresponding to different criminal organizations. The operation dealt a significant blow to a major cocaine distribution network, targeting criminal networks in Europe. The investigation began in July after receiving information about an incoming shipment of Colombian cocaine through a banana shipment. No arrests have been made, and this seizure surpasses the previous record of 8.4 tons of cocaine found in a banana shipment in 2018.
