JUSTIN Bieber’s pet monkey was seized by customs after the star sneaked it into Europe on a private jet.
The increasingly wacky singer, 19, faces prosecution in Munich as he did not have papers for Mally.
Pop star Bieber fuelled fears over his erratic behaviour by insisting his pet went with him on a transatlantic flight.
The star broke strict health laws by sneaking the primate into Germany in his private jet.
Last night a source said: “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.
“He seems as fond of Mally as Michael Jackson was of his chimp Bubbles.”
It is thought Mally is a capuchin monkey given to Bieber to mark his 19th birthday by music producer Jamal Rashid.
Its sex is unknown as though Mally is a girl’s name in America it could be named after pal Jamal. Touring Bieber had flown from Lodz, Poland, back to Los Angeles on Monday, then took Mally on a Cessna Citation X he rents for £13,000-a-time to Munich’s Franz Josef Strauss Airport on Thursday ahead of his gig at the city’s Olympiahalle.
The star was detained “for some time” while furious customs officials confiscated Mally. It will be kept in quarantine at the airport at Bieber’s expense while the Baby singer faces a fine of more than £10,000.
A customs spokesman said: “The animal required a certificate of health and other authorisations.
“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.”
After the Munich gig Canadian-born Bieber travelled to Austria by bus. He has denied rumours he is having a breakdown after he kept fans at London’s O2 arena waiting for two hours, had a foul-mouthed bust-up with a photographer and allegedly spat at a neighbour in California in a row over noise.
His agent declined to comment.
