Spanish Court Rules in Favor of Shakira and Orders Return of 60 Million Euros
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)

A Spanish court has ruled in favor of Colombian superstar Shakira, ordering the government to refund her over 55 million euros (approximately $64 million) in improperly charged fines and interest. This decision comes after years of tax issues for Shakira in Spain. The court determined that the Spanish tax authorities failed to prove she was a tax resident in 2011, as she only spent 163 days in the country that year, falling short of the 183 days required for residency. This ruling contrasts with previous cases involving other sports stars who faced tax evasion charges.
