\n\tShakira<\/a> and her fans have spent the last week rejoicing over her recent legal victory: Following an eight-year battle with Spain\u2019s treasury over tax fraud allegations, Shakira was not only acquitted<\/a>, but also awarded a hefty judgment sum. Since then, her followers have been having a field day, sharing hilarious memes that celebrate the star cashing in \u2014\u00a0 proof of mujeres que facturan<\/em>.<\/p>\n \n\tTo recap, Spain\u2019s treasury accused Shakira of tax evasion in the country from 2011 and attempted to show that Shakira lived in Spain long enough that year to be considered a tax resident. Yesterday, Spain\u2019s high court found that she had lived in Spain for 163 days in 2011, short of the 183 days that prosecutors tried to prove. Shakira was acquitted of tax fraud and she was also awarded \u20ac60 million (about $64 million) for an overturned fine by Spain\u2019s treasury.\u00a0<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cAfter more than eight years of enduring brutal public targeting, orchestrated campaigns to destroy my reputation, and sleepless nights that ultimately impacted my health and my family\u2019s well-being, the National High Court has finally set the record straight,\u201d Shakira shared in a statement. \u201cThere was never any fraud, and the Administration itself could never prove otherwise, simply because it wasn\u2019t true.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe had touched on how the case had impacted her in her music: While torching her ex-partner Gerard Piqu\u00e9 in Bizarrap\u2019s global smash \u201cBZRP Music Sessions, Vol. 53<\/a>,\u201d Shakira brought up Spain\u2019s treasury and sang, \u201cYou left me with your mom as a neighbor, the press at my door, and a debt with the treasury \/ You thought you\u2019d hurt me, but you made me stronger.\u201d Following her recent acquittal, Shakira appeared to celebrate the refund settlement by sharing photos of herself with Rihanna\u2019s \u201cBitch Better Have My Money\u201d playing in the background.
