The singer herself did not accept the charges or the prosecution's proposals to make a deal and avoid trial. So the case went to court.

Recently, in the Court of Barcelona, ​​the agreement has been accepted. Before the first session started, Shakira accepted the deal. It will pay 7.5 million euros.

"While I was determined to defend my innocence in a trial that my attorneys were confident would have ruled in my favor, I have made the decision to ultimately resolve this matter in the best interests of my children, who they don't want to see mom sacrifice her personal well-being in this fight," Shakira said.
