One of the great controversies between Johnny Depp and Amber Heard during the apparently idyllic stage of their marriage, back in the year 2015, came as a result of their decision to travel to Australia with its pets, two Yorkshire Terriers that respond to the names of Pistol and Boo, without even bothering to comply with the mandatory administrative procedures for the registration of any animal that is about to enter the country.
We must remember that Australia has very strict laws that limit the access of foreign species in its territory, essential to avoid any danger or damage to its delicate native ecosystems.
None of this mattered too much to the then-in-love couple: their dogs were not declared at customs and they were not subjected to the quarantine of days that imposes regulations to prevent the transmission of diseases.
Of More specifically, Amber Heard was denounced by the authorities and pleaded guilty before the judge of having falsified the travel documents of her pets. Despite this legal misstep, it seemed then that the case was already closed and, in fact, Johnny and Amber published shortly after a comical video in which they apologized for their mischief and encouraged their followers to “declare absolutely everything”.
However, now the Australian Ministry of Agriculture and the Environment has revealed that it is investigating the actress on account of a possible crime of perjury, allegedly committed in the testimonies she offered in court seven years ago years.
A spokesman for that department has confirmed to the television program Entertainment Tonight that the procedure “is underway” and that the results will be announced sooner or later.
“The Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment is investigating an alleged case of perjury committed by Miss Heard in the oral hearings related to the illegal entry of her two dogs into Australian territory,” reads an extract from the note received by the medium.
