Shakira Cleared of Tax Fraud in Spain, Fans Celebrate with Memes
Shakira was acquitted of tax fraud in Spain after an eight-year case, with the court finding she lived in the country for 163 days in 2011—short of the 183-day residency threshold—and overturning a fine to award a €60 million judgment. Spain’s treasury may appeal to the Supreme Court, and she may not receive the money until a final ruling, but fans have exploded on social media with memes celebrating the victory.
