Mally, the capuchin monkey that once belonged to teen sensation Justin Bieber, will be adopted by Germany because the superstar failed to collect him after he was seized by customs on March 28.

They 'Boyfriend' hitmaker didn't have the required paperwork, which was for vaccination and import, for the monkey when he was in the country so it will now remain in the custody of Munich officials as he missed the deadline of May 17 to claim him. 

Customs spokesman Thomas Meister explained that because Bieber didn't return to pick up Mally when he was supposed to, the adorable pet's ownership will now be transferred by customs authority to the German state on Tuesday (May 21).

Bieber will have six week to contest the decision. Meanwhile, he took to his official Twitter page earlier today and told his fans that he's currently hard at work: "focused. #musicjournals."
