Amber Heard’s Case In Australia May Get FBI Attention
In the wake of Heard’s dog smuggling controversy in 2015, Australian investigators may be able to collaborate with the FBI, according to Law & Crime. As the investigation continues to gather information, former Nationals leader Barnaby Joyce appears to have no sympathy for Amber Heard.
In an interview, he stated, “Those dogs, when they came in, there were a lot of documents that were signed that said there were no animals there. And it now looks like Ms. Heard has allegedly not told the truth.”
Pets imported into Australia for the first time must be detained for 10 days due to the country’s severe quarantine regulations. Heard was requested by the Australian government at the time to either remove the dogs from the country or put them down.
Heard was arrested in July 2015 on charges of unlawfully bringing canines to Australia after Depp flew them back to the United States.
