Thalía will not be facing a fine for her indiscretion. According to People, there will be no sanction from the Mexican Secretary of Government for the singer who appeared naked, wrapped in the Mexican flag on her Instagram account. The Interior Ministry said the case does not apply because this happened outside of Mexico, and that therefore it might be a case for the Foreign Ministry. Currently Thalía has remained completely oblivious to the debate.
Thalía caused some controversy on social media with the photo. The Mexican singer published a picture of herself wrapped in the flag of Mexico on her Instagram account. The former Timbiriche singer released the photo on June 13 to create a photomontage of support for the Mexican national team that defeated Cameroon, one zero. It was reported that the actress and singer could have faced an economic sanction by the "misuse" of the national flag.
This isn't the first time a Mexican celebrity has faced such controversies: her former bandmate Paulina Rubio was fined in 2008 for posing in the Spanish edition of Cosmopolitan magazine naked and covered only with the flag of Mexico. However, because this photoshoot happened IN Mexico, Rubio was indeed liable for a fine. Since Thalía doesn't actually live in Mexico and the photo was taken in the United States, such fines do not apply.
