Miley Cyrus in hot water with authorities after being spanked with Mexico flag

Miley Cyrus has been accused of desecrating the Mexican flag after being spanked on stage with one in the country.

The singer performed in Monterrey on Tuesday (September 16) - Mexico's official Independence Day.

However, she was spanked by a dancer on a prosthetic bottom with the country's flag during her Bangerz Tour show.

This has seemingly enraged authorities, who have ordered a probe into the incident.

A spokesman for the interior ministry told the AFP that the Nuevo Leon state congress has launched an inquest into the furore.

The incident could herald a $1,270 fine, or possible jail time. However, the spokesman added the "company that brought her here would be sanctioned, not her".
