The capuchin monkey is held by the
authorities because the 'Beauty and a Beat' singer does not have required
paperwork to bring the animal to Germany.
Justin Bieber had to let his pet monkey Mally
be quarantined in Germany. On Saturday, March 30, an official said that Bieber
who landed at Franz Josef Strauss Airport in Munich on Thursday, could not
provide documents needed to bring the capuchin monkey to the country.
Therefore, his pet had to stay with the authorities, said customs spokesman
Thomas Meister.
"The animal required a certificate of
health and other authorizations. You cannot just land with a wild animal and
bring it into the country if the flight has not originated from another EU
country and you don't have the proper paperwork," said the official.
According to The Sun, the pop star was
detained "for some time" while German customs officials were taking
the monkey from him. The primate would be kept in the airport with Bieber's
expense. The singer reportedly would be fined more than 10,000 Pound sterling
or $15,000.
A source said that the "Baby"
singer would be upset to be apart from his pet. "Justin has been acting
like a right diva. He is out of control and lives in an alternative reality to
the rest of us. He didn't think about the potential risks of flying a monkey
from one continent to another. He and Mally go everywhere together. He will be
heartbroken it has been put in quarantine," said the source.
Bieber performed in Munich on Thursday as a
part of his "Believe" European tour. He had a gig in Austria on
Saturday. In addition, Bieber is scheduled to perform in Germany over the next
week.
