Slapped with a huge bill!

Justin Bieber's 20 week old pet monkey names Malley has been hanging out in a quarantine centre since being seized by customs officers in Germany, but now JB is being charged thousands of dollars for food, care and vet visits by the centre. After Justin couldn't produce the proper paperwork for the pet, German customs took Malley because he violated strict health issues. Justin had a couple of hours to claim the monkey and pay up after attempting to sneak the monkey into Germany on his Private Jet Plane.

German authorities have asked the popstar to hand over nearly $8,000 for the costs of caring for the capuchin monkey he left behind in Munich after bringing it on tour without the right paperwork.
The bill covers the cost of vaccinations, accommodation and transport for the monkey, known as Malley, which is now being cared for at a zoo in Northern Germany.


Customs officials posted a public notice of the bill after failing to get a response from Bieber at the address he gave to the customs officials. In the light of that, German authorities have followed the applicable laws made the claim publicly known. 


Bieber must pay up next time her comes to Germany or be at the risk of being denied entry.
If he is unable to pay cash, then customs officials could confiscate other property to meet the claim. 



The young monkey was taken to a Munich animal shelter after it was confiscated at the end of March as Bieber arrived in Germany on a European tour. Malley was transferred to the Serengeti Park in Hodenhagen, near Hanover, in June after spending several weeks in quarantine. 

Bieber had until May 7th to present paperwork to reclaim his pet but failed to do so.
As a result, Malley is the property of the German Government and the Serengeti Park is acting as caretaker. The park was picked because it is the only zoo in Germany that has a family of Capuchins for Malley to join.

Bieber's representatives declined to comment at the time the animal was confiscated.
