Amber Heard could face another legal battle in Australia after losing her high-profile defamation trial against ex-husband Johnny Depp earlier this month.
She is the subject of an 'ongoing' perjury investigation related to court proceedings stemming from her infamous visit to Queensland with Depp in 2015.
The couple, who were in the country while Depp filmed Pirates of the Caribbean 5, broke Australia's strict quarantine and biosecurity laws by failing to declare their Yorkshire terriers, Pistol and Boo, after flying in from the U.S.
The Aquaman actress, 36, was charged with two counts of illegally importing the animals in July that year, but the case was closed when she pleaded guilty at a Gold Coast court in April 2016 to falsifying travel documents, reports ET Canada.

The Australian Department of Agriculture, Water and the Environment said on Tuesday it was 'investigating allegations of perjury by Ms Heard during court proceedings for the 2015 illegal importation of [her] two dogs into Australia.'
The spokesperson confirmed the case was 'ongoing'.
At the time of her guilty plea in 2016, Heard and Depp also recorded a video apology in which she expressed remorse for her actions.
The footage was widely mocked on social media with some fans saying the couple looked like they'd been kidnapped and held to ransom.
