Overview
- In 2018 Goya and her husband borrowed €2.2 million from the Crédit Municipal de Bordeaux to refinance tax debts and the lender later sought about €2.46 million, a demand that led the couple to sue and lose in lower courts before appealing.
- Goya told RTL and several outlets she and her husband have repaid €950,000 since 2018 and that the case is currently in mediation as they seek a negotiated end to the dispute.
- Press reports give differing outstanding totals—figures cited include roughly €1.65 million and more than €2 million—because parties disagree over whether numbers refer to the original principal or to added interest and contractual indemnities.
- The singer publicly rejected media claims about large personal wealth, saying her husband does not hold €3.7 million and that her income is about €45,000 a year, and reporting shows the couple were listed in the FICP file of credit incidents which can restrict future borrowing.
- Crédit municipaux are municipal lenders often used to refinance debts and an agreement reached in mediation could clear the FICP entry and affect Goya’s ability to tour and borrow, though she has only said she hopes for a resolution by year‑end.
