A Jamaican woman who earned more than £60,000 (J$8.1million) with a farm company in the United Kingdom after using a forged passport to get the job has been jailed, this according to a report in the Birmingham Mail.
She is Hazeldine Holding, 61, of a Gibbins Road, Selly Oak, address who was sentenced to five months in prison.
THE STAR has learnt that Holding pleaded guilty at Warwick Crown Court to using a false document in 2003 with intent to induce south Warwickshire-based Bomfords Limited to accept it as genuine.
It is understood that she also admitted possessing a false identity document with intent to deceive.
Prosecutor Ian Speed said Holding was a Jamaican national who came to the UK with her 10-year-old son on a six-month visitor's visa in 2001.
"After it expired, she became an 'over-stayer,' and in 2003 she began work with Bomfords, which is
basically a farm," he said.
"It is always disappointing for a court when it has to consider sending to prison a 61-year-old lady who has worked hard and has been of previous good character," said judge Trevor Faber.
