Jennifer Lopez's husband Marc
Anthony has settled a tax case to avoid criminal prosecution.
The Latino singer and two others agreed to pay a total of $2.5
million in back taxes as part of a plea agreement in New
York.
The charges, obtained by TMZ.com, stem from an investigation into
three companies controlled by Anthony.
The New York County District Attorney claimed the singer and his
partners "failed to file New York State and City corporate tax
returns and pay their respective tax liabilities."
Anthony and his colleagues have agreed to pay the debt by May 31 or
face additional penalties.
