Colombian pop star Shakira on Monday reached a settlement with prosecutors to avoid a trial in Barcelona over charges she failed to pay 14.5 million euros ($15.7 million) in Spanish income tax between 2012 and 2014. As part of the deal, she accepted the charges and a fine of 50% of the amount owed, more than 7.3 million euros. She also accepted another fine of 438,000 euros to avoid a three-year prison sentence, the judge said during the trial's first hearing.
