Katy Perry fined €6,000 for filming her music video in a protected area in Ibiza.
The artist's production company has already paid the fine.
PalmThe Government has fined the production company in charge of 6,001 euros filming the music video for 'Lifetimes', by American singer Katy Perry, to film in a protected area of the Ses Salines Natural Park at the end of July 2024 without authorization.
According to the regional government, the company responsible for the filming has been fined. The regional government has imposed a fine of €6,001, considering the incident a "serious" offense, but no aggravating factor could be applied because "there was no environmental damage."
Last summer, the Government began preliminary investigations into the recording of this video, for which the company had not requested authorization from the Regional Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and the Natural Environment to carry out the filming and during which it entered an exclusion zone, where entry is prohibited.
When the fine was notified, the artist's production company immediately paid the amount, thus closing the case. It should be remembered that at the time the investigation was made public, Katy Perry's record company stated that it had received "verbal approval"from the local production company to film the music video for the American artist's latest song in the Ibiza Natural Park (a protected area). "The local video production company assured us that all the necessary permits were in place. We have since learned that a permit was pending, although we were verbally authorized to proceed," they stated.
