Spain‘s National Court has acquitted Shakira in a tax fraud case after eight years, ordering the government to return 60 million euros to the Colombian superstar.

“After more than eight years enduring brutal public accusations and sleepless nights that took a toll on my health and my family’s well-being, the National Court has finally set the record straight,” Shakira said in a statement. “There was never any fraud, and the Administration itself was never able to prove otherwise.”

In the same statement, the singer’s lawyer, José Luis Prada, described the ruling as the end of “an eight-year ordeal” and stated that Shakira “had the strength and resources to see it through to the end” in a process that, he said, “suffocates many anonymous taxpayers who lack the resources to defend themselves.”

The artist added that she hopes the ruling “sets a precedent” for other taxpayers facing similar disputes with Spain’s Tax Agency.
