Amber Heard still facing allegations of perjury in Australia weeks after losing Johnny Depp libel trial
launched by ex-husband Johnny Depp, Amber Heard is still under ongoing investigations amid allegations of perjury in Australia.The actress and her former spouse were the subjects of national controversy – dubbed ‘Terriergate’ – after Heard brought their two dogs, Pistol and Boo, Down Under without declaring the Yorkshire Terriers and without adhering to the country’s strict 10-day quarantine policy.In July 2015, the actress – who was still married to the actor, in Australia filming the Pirates Of The Caribbean franchise – was charged with two counts of illegally importing the animals and, after pleading guilty to falsifying travel documents in court, the case was closed, with Heard and Depp forced to share a grovelling public apology on video in April 2016, a month before they split, which was widely mocked at the time.They had their dogs flown back to the US on a private jet after Australia’s agriculture minister at the time, Barnaby Joyce, threatened to have the dogs euthanised unless they ‘buggered off back to the United States’.
