When the rural area ’s Minister of Agriculture , Barnaby Joyce , caught wind of the egregious offense , he slapped Heard with a " smuggling " illegal animals consign , a law-breaking that carries a maximum penalization of 10 years in prison house .
Joyce was so infuriated by Depp and Heard ’s actions , he hold a particular press conference in which he call the yoke out . " If we commence allow movie adept , even though they ’ve been the ' Sexiest Man Alive ' doubly , who come to our state … well , why do n’t we just check the jurisprudence for everybody ? " At the meter , the Joyce threatened to euthanize the fauna , as they were n’t properly quarantine upon entry to the country .
ahead of time on Monday , Heard faced Australian courts over the charge , where a judgeplacedthe actress on a $ 1,000 " good behavior bond certificate . " After the decision , the distich released an apology video , which emphasise the serious issue of Australian biosecurity . make it a few calendar month after DeppappearanceonJimmy Kimmel Live ! , where the worker described the intact incident as " suspect , " one might see the expiation as a kind of deadpan " FU . "
