Amber Heard is embroiled in a dog smuggling case with her ex-husband, Johnny Depp.
In an FBI-backed inquiry into claims that Amber Heard lied to Australian officials after smuggling her and Depp’s canines in 2015, the actress is being investigated for a false oath.
According to the Daily Mail, the American actress avoided biosecurity charges after publicly apologizing and blaming a lack of sleep for bringing her then-Yorkshire husband’s Terriers Pistol and Boo into the nation without the proper paperwork.
However, the spokesperson added in their statement that “the department is seeking to obtain witness statements and once obtained, the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions will consider whether the evidence is sufficient to warrant pursuance of the matter.”
After a year, this information became public when one of Johnny Depp’s associates pointed out that Heard asked him to lie under oath in a 2020 libel suit against a British tabloid after she was charged with illegitimately importing the dogs into Australia after flying with them on a private jet without authorization.
According to the Daily Mail, Australia’s Department of Agriculture, Water, and Environment has reopened the criminal investigation and asked the FBI for assistance in tracking down witnesses in the United States. As of now, the FBI has not validated the information.
