Determination on the question of prosecution of Amber Heard

Prosecution action will not be taken against actress Amber Heard over allegations related to her sentencing for the illegal import of two dogs into Australia in 2015.

The department collaborated with agencies, both in Australia and overseas, to investigate these claims against Ms Heard.

A brief of evidence was referred to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions, who has made the decision not to prosecute in this instance having applied the Prosecution Policy of the Commonwealth.
