The investigation concerns the filming of the American pop singer’s recent video clip on the uninhabited island of S’Espalmador in Formentera
Officials in Spain are investigating Katy Perry for filming her music video on protected sand dunes for ecological reasons in the Balearic Islands without having the necessary permission.
The video for her latest single Lifetimes depicts the singer enjoying herself and having fun in clubs on the islands of Ibiza and Formentera.
Scenes are seen, which are suspected to have been filmed on protected sand dunes on the island of S’Espalmador in Formentera, as reported by the BBC.
Why is Katy Perry being investigated?
The Spanish government said the production company responsible for the video had not applied for a permit. Katy Perry has not commented on the matter.
Officials clarified that Katy Perry is not being investigated for “crimes against the environment” as video shoots can be authorized in the area.
The Balearic Islands’ environment department issued a press release on Tuesday, claiming that the video’s production company did not secure the necessary authorization before filming.
Subsequently, the investigation was opened and pre-investigative actions have been taken.
The islet of S’Espalmador: the bone of contention
S’Espalmador is an uninhabited islet located to the north of Formentera and is approximately 1.8 miles long.
It has been part of the Ses Salines de Ibiza and Formentera Natural Park since 1980.
The dunes on the small, privately owned island are of “high ecological value,” according to the regional government’s tourism website.
