Miley Cyrus has come under fire for insulting the Mexican flag and has also prompted an official investigation.

As the 'Wrecking Ball' hitmaker, who was performing during her in Monterrey, during the first of four scheduled "Bangerz Tour 2014" gigs in Mexico, was "twerking" in the middle of a song, one of the two dancers contorting beside her used a Mexican flag to spank the oversized, false buttocks she was wearing, CNN reported.

Mexican law is very stern on the subject of respecting the flag, the Mexican seal and national anthem and it states that any action "that implies contempt or lack of respect to the Homeland Symbols will be punished according to its severity and the condition of the offender."

 

The act of disrespecting a Mexican symbol carries a fine up to about 1,200 dollars and three days in jail, and that's if it doesn't happen during the commission of a felony.
