Colombian pop superstar has been handed a seven-figure fine as part of a deal that both allows her to swerve jail time and puts an end to a lengthy fraud trial in Barcelona before it even began.The singer, who has a net worth of roughly $300 million (£240m), will be fined 7.3 million euros (£6.4m) for the six tax fraud crimes she confessed to as part of the deal announced in court today, less than a third of the amount prosecutors were seeking.She had already repaid the tax which Spanish officials had accused her of dodging - which with interest on top came to nearly 17 million euros (£15m). She will also have to pay a fine totalling 432,000 euros (£378,000) to avoid prison.
