      Shakira:

      > “There was never any fraud, and the Administration itself could never prove otherwise, simply because it wasn’t true. Yet, for nearly a decade, I was treated as guilty. Every step of the process was leaked, distorted, and amplified, using my name and public image to send a threatening message to the rest of the taxpayers. Today, that narrative crumbles, and it does so with the full force of a court ruling.”

      >In the ruling, the court said that tax authorities failed to prove Shakira had spent 183 days in Spain in 2011, 

      Really? 8 years to disprove that? Seems rather straightforward

      Funny story. A friend of mine worked on a celebrity quiz show series for many years. He said Shakira was the smartest celebrity who ever participated. Who was the dumbest? Convince me to spill the tea!
