Version: 4.0.47--><p>Actress Amber Heard, who was mocked and criticized after losing her defamation lawsuit against ex-husband Johnny Depp, is reportedly under criminal investigation in Australia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 36-year-old actress is the subject of an \u2018ongoing\u2019 perjury investigation related to court proceedings stemming from her infamous visit to Queensland with Depp in 2015, when she broke Australia\u2019s strict quarantine and biosecurity laws by failing to declare the former couple\u2019s Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, when she flew into the country,\u201d the Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/tvshowbiz\/article-10967729\/Amber-Heard-investigated-allegations-perjury-Australia-Johnny-Depp-trial-loss.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cHeard was charged with two counts of illegally importing the animals in July 2015, however the case was closed when she pled guilty to falsifying travel documents in a Gold Coast court in April 2016.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report said that Australian officials have confirmed that they are currently investigating Heard for perjury for allegedly lying to law enforcement about the circumstances surrounding her importation of the dogs into the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe department\u2019s perjury investigation stems from testimony given by a former employee of Depp during his UK libel case against The Sun newspaper in 2020,\u201d the report added. \u201cDepp\u2019s former estate manager Kevin Murphy raised eyebrows Down Under when he told the London court that Heard had ordered him to lie on oath after she flew the pets into Queensland in a private jet without declaring them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The two dogs were supposed to be placed under quarantine for 10 days, and when it was discovered that they were never placed under quarantine, the couple was given three days to get the dogs out of the country or they would be put down.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHeard eventually pleaded guilty to the lesser charge of falsifying an immigration document and accepted a fine of 10,000 Australian dollars ($7,650) after her lawyer, Jeremy Kirk, insisted that the paperwork for the dogs had \u2018slipped through the cracks\u2019 and that there was \u2018no attempt to deceive,\u2019\u201d the report continued. \u201cHeard\u2019s version of events went unchallenged until July 2020 when Depp\u2019s former estate manager told London\u2019s High Court in a written statement that he had repeatedly warned the actress about Australia\u2019s strict animal entry rules.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy said in the statement to the court that he had repeatedly told Heard \u201cthat trying to take the dogs into Australia without completing the mandatory process was illegal and could result in very harsh penalties including euthanizing the dogs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy says that Heard demanded that he lie about the incident after it became a problem and appeared to threaten his job if he refused.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I expressed that I was extremely uncomfortable with this, Ms. Heard said to me \u2018Well I want your help on this \u2026 I wouldn\u2019t want you to have a problem with your job,\u2019\u201d Murphy said. \u201cIt became very apparent that Ms. Heard was threatening my job stability unless I cooperated with providing a declaration that supported her false account for the Australian proceedings. Because of this I felt extreme pressure to cooperate, despite knowing this would involve being untruthful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy told the British newspaper that he had been contacted by the FBI about the matter and agreed to cooperate with Australia\u2019s criminal investigation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Actress Amber Heard, who was mocked and criticized after losing her defamation lawsuit against ex-husband Johnny Depp, is reportedly under criminal investigation in Australia. \u201cThe 36-year-old actress is the subject of an \u2018ongoing\u2019 perjury investigation related to court proceedings stemming from her infamous visit to Queensland with Depp in 2015, when she broke Australia\u2019s strict &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":102,"featured_media":1536686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1536674","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1536674","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/102"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1536674"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1536674\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1536686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1536674"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1536674"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1536674"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
