Woman Lies On Passport Application; Fined $60K
Taryka Rattray was fined $60,000 or six months in prison after she pleaded guilty to two counts of false declaration in the Corporate Area Resident Magistrate’s Court yesterday.
Rattray reportedly applied for a passport on two separate occasions in 2005, and lied on the application, saying she was not married, when in fact she was married. She however told the court that although she was married, she was separated from her husband at the time and did not want to use his name, nor see it on her passport.
She was fined $30,000 or three months in prison on each count.
