Biography
She was born into a musicians family, both, her father and her grandfather, being singers.
Her husband, the bullfighter Francisco Rivera Pérez "Paquirri", died in the bullring on 26 September 1984, at the horns of the now infamous bull Avispado in Pozoblanco, Córdoba. She has a son with Paquirri named Francisco Rivera Pantoja.
She became involved in a romantic relationship with Julián Muñoz, a GIL councillor in Marbella, who served as mayor after his mentor, Jesús Gil, was disqualified from office. Muñoz was arrested on charges of corruption and money laundering as part of an anti-corruption investigation in July 2006, and in May 2007 Pantoja was arrested as part of the same investigation. Questions about her involvement center on sums totaling one million Euros she received in cash between 2003 and 2007. Investigators suspect that the funds originated from Muñoz's illicit dealings. The money laundering allegations are not really sufficient to make Pantoja a central figure in Operation Malaya, but her arrest caused a considerable media furor in Spain, where Pantoja is constantly the subject of media interest. She was released on bail of <#8364;90,000 after one night in jail.
