Katy Perry fined for recording her Lifetimes video in a protected zone of Spain
The American singer faces a fine of more than 6 thousand euros for filming scenes for a music video in the Balearic Islands
Singer Katy Perry is once again making international headlines; on this occasion for having broken the law and filmed some scenes of his music video "Lifetimes" in the dunes of the islet of ‘Espalmador’ part of the Ses Salines Natural Park, a protected ecological enclave.
According to regional authorities, We Own The City (the company that produced the music video) did not request or have the necessary permits to film within the dune system that appears in the audiovisual project.
Consequently, an administrative investigation was initiated that later resulted in a fine of $6,001 euros, or $7,025, for the interpreter of "California Gurls" and "Dark Horse."
After the commotion that arose Generated by this announcement, Katy Perry's record label, Capitol Records, assured that the local team had been in charge of processing the permits. According to their version of events, this was requested on July 22, and a "verbal authorization" was obtained on July 26, authorizing the start date of filming as the 27th of the same month. For its part, the Balearic Islands' Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment determined that no environmental damage was caused to the islet of Espalmador. However, they insisted that no formal authorization was requested to guarantee the correct use of the facilities, behavior that constitutes an infraction already resolved by the production company.
In addition to the impressive settings of the islet, the video clip for "Lifetimes" shows Katy Perry in other impressive places in Spain, including the beaches of Ibiza and Formentera, as well as another luxurious nightclub.
