A new charge is going after American actress Amber Heard this time in Australia

After weeks of losing her libel case against her divorce Johnny Depp, American actress Amber Heard is in trouble, facing a potential legal battle in Australia.

In details, the British Daily Mail revealed that Australian authorities had announced an investigation into actress Amber Heard for lying in an illegal dog import case.

Hurd, 36, became the subject of an "ongoing" investigation by a court in Australia for "lying under oath" in an illegal import of dogs.

This case dates back to 2015 when Heard was charged with two counts, one of illegal import of animals, and the second of falsification of travel documents, after taking two dogs to the country during her visit to Johnny Depp during the filming of the fifth part of the "Pirates of the Caribbean 5" series.

The court also accused Heard of violating Australia's strict quarantine and biosecurity laws

 although the case was closed in April 2016, when Heard admitted to falsifying travel documents at the Gold Coast Court in Australia.

This is a breach of Australia's strict quarantine and biosecurity laws, the Australian authorities are afraid of transporting imported dogs to Australia, which is considered a national wealth.

The Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and Environment confirmed that the case was still "ongoing", noting that it was investigating sworn lying during court proceedings over the illegal import of dogs in Australia in 2015
