A Spanish court has said it has shelved a probe into alleged tax fraud by Colombian pop star Shakira following a request from public prosecutors.
Prosecutors had opened the case last July, accusing her of using a network of companies, some of them based in tax havens, to cheat the tax office out of €6.6 million in 2018, including interest and adjustments.
A month later, the so-called Queen of Latin Pop - full name Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll - paid €6.6 million to settle the debt.
On 20 November last year, Shakira reached a last-minute settlement with prosecutors on the opening day of her trial over a separate alleged tax fraud case involving income she earned between 2012 and 2014.
