Colombian singer Shakira has been cleared of tax fraud allegations after years of legal proceedings, with authorities now moving to return about $64 million linked to the case.

The case, which began several years ago, involved allegations that the singer failed to properly declare income in Spain during the period she was accused of tax irregularities.

Following a lengthy legal process, the matter has now been resolved, with reports indicating that tax authorities are taking steps to return funds associated with the dispute after final conclusions were reached.

Shakira had consistently denied wrongdoing throughout the case, maintaining that her financial and tax affairs were properly managed in line with legal requirements.

The legal battle drew widespread attention globally due to her international status and the size of the disputed amount, making it one of the most closely followed celebrity tax cases in recent years.

The resolution brings an end to years of court hearings and investigations that focused on her residency status and income declarations during the period in question.

Authorities have not provided additional public details on the repayment process or timelines for the return of the funds.

The case now concludes a long-running legal dispute that has followed the singer across multiple jurisdictions.
