Isabel Pantoja faces one of the hardest moments of her life due to the great conflict that plagues her family. Angry with her two children and having abandoned the home of her great love, Cantora, the tonadillera finds herself in the loneliest stage in her history. However, these times are possibly nothing compared to his imprisonment ten years ago, caused by his involvement in the Malaya Case.
The one from Triana entered the Alcalá de Guadaíra prison on November 21, 2014 after being affected by her controversial romance with the former mayor of Marbella, Julián Muñoz. Isabel Pantoja’s romantic relationship with the man who recently died in September of this year began in 2003, at a time when the politician was already a well-known figure in Andalusia. Muñoz, then married to Mayte Zaldívar, began their love affair by choosing the artist as image of the city of Marbella; However, for months she maintained that she was a family friend.
But, days later, both showed themselves in an attitude that went beyond friendship at the La Candelaria festival. In this way, a relationship between the two would be confirmed that would last from 2003 to 2006. Although in those three years, nothing gave rise to suspicion that the tonadillera would be involved in a corruption case that would be uncovered by Zaldívar by ensuring that Her ex-husband came home with bags full of money.
At the time the statements were given, not only was the divorce petition being processed in the marriage, but the end of the relationship between Pantoja and Muñoz. Since, days later, the mayor of Marbella would be arrested for the most important real estate corruption plot in our country. In this, it would also be discovered that both Mayte Zaldívar and Isabel Pantoja were front men for the laundering of money that was being diverted from the city council, thus declaring that, during the three years of relationship between the singer and the politician, she received income of almost 600 thousand euros in their companies.
Paquirri’s ex-wife would be sentenced to a sentence of two years in prison and a fine of 1,147,000 eurosafter it was demonstrated that he received daily income of up to 3,000 euros per day. In this way, on November 21, 2014 at 7:55 in the morning, Isabel Pantoja entered the Sevillian prison escorted by two officials. With her long, dark hair tied back, XXL sunglasses, a long black coat and a large bag under her arm, the artist entered the prison with a firm step and her head held high.
This fact marked a before and after not only in the world of the heart, but also in the life of the Sevillian. Assuring his mother that he was on tour in Latin America, Pantoja was granted parole for good behavior on March 2, 2016, after serving two-thirds of his sentence. And, eight years after that event, he still has not surpassed his entry into “that place whose name I don’t want to remember.” “I just wouldn’t like to talk about that topic. I will do it in due time and clearly. I’m not ready yet. “I try to turn the page,” he declared in an interview in The Country in 2019.
Having to face a large sum of money that he did not have, after several failed businesses and the high costs involved in maintaining Cantora, as soon as he left the Alcalá de Guadaía prison with his brother Agustín, Isabel got to work. In the autumn of that year he released his album Until the sun goes out and, although she remained disowned for much of this time on the farm with her mother, in 2019 joined the cast of Survivors with an almost millionaire contract. In addition, I would also agree to participate as a jury of Idol Kids y Top Star.
The relationship with her children would weaken to the present, since right now neither Isa Pantoja nor Kiko Rivera speaks to the tonadillera. The bullfighter’s son cut ties when he supposedly found out that his mother had lied to him all these years about his father’s inheritance, which, according to him, continues to remain in Cantora behind his brothers’ backs. On the other hand, her daughter has finished crossing her out of her life after finding herself in the El Puerto de Santamaría hospital, undergoing surgery for serious appendicitis and not receiving the support of the artist by her side. Furthermore, after her recent pregnancy news, it seems that her mother has shown complete indifference.
Although the DJ’s partner, Irene Rosales, has always advocated for a good relationship in the family, Isabel Pantoja ended up dynamiting his patience when, after the death of her mother, she called her granddaughter on her birthday saying: “I am your grandmother, the one they say is dead. I have risen! If your mother has time between TV, let her play this audio for you.” A phrase that greatly outraged the Sevillian and that was not at all appropriate for a five-year-old girl who ended up very confused.
