Popstar Justin Bieber has been given a month to provide German authorities with the papers they need to release his pet monkey "Mally".

Customs officials seized Bieber's capuchin monkey at Munich Airport last week, when the 19-year-old failed to present the health and species
protection certificates required to bring the pet into the country.

Bieber was visiting Munich to give a concert and has since continued on his tour.

The shelter currently caring for Mally, who is around 14 weeks old, said the animal had been taken away from its mother too early and was receiving veterinary care.
