But legal documents filed in a US court allegedly show Mr Depp was "fully aware" he was breaking Australian laws.

His former business managers, The Management Group (TMG), claimed the actor had "pressured one of his long-term employees to 'take the fall'," in papers obtained by People.

Hollyweird actor Johnny Depp may be in legal trouble with Australia. His messy legal dispute with his former business manager apparently now documents his perjury in Australia over customs issue with sneaking his dogs into the country.

If the crime doesn’t get ya, Johnny, the cover-up will. What a scumbag to make his assistant take the fall for his crime.

Johnny, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life.

Obviously, you have no choice about being stupid.

Well if you’re stupid, being drunk may be the best way to get by then.

Extradite him. When was the last time an actor killed a president when the actor was behind bars?

Don't think of it as criminal perjury. Think of it as script editing.

Whoa, buddy. When that door clangs shut Johnny's going to be waiting a looong time for somebody to say "cut!"

It is a pity that Pentridge closed in 1997 - some time in Division H might do Depp some good.

Glad things are going so well in Australia that the PM has time to worry about Johnny Depps dogs.

If Depp should be locked up for anything it should be the Lone Ranger.

That movie was a crime.
