Last monday, Shakira reached an agreement with the Prosecutor’s Office after acknowledging that she defrauded the Treasury of 14.5 million euros between 2012 and 2014.and in turn I accepted a prison sentence of three yearswhat not to comply with not having a criminal record, and a fine of 7.3 million euros. A pact that she made solely and exclusively for the good of her children. I have to choose my battles and the most important one for me now is to do everything so that my children live a full life and focus on what is really important: watching them grow and spending time with them. Without subjecting them to the anguish of seeing their mother in a criminal trial with the wear and tear that this entails. They themselves have asked me, and for them I have made this decision.
