Ursula Hill faces new charges in passport case

She was already charged with perjury for the alleged flip flops in her testimony at the Gabby Affif passport trial. Now Ursula Hill has been hit with six counts each of Forgery of Official Documents, Possession of False Documents and Uttering a False Document. The charges relate to six applications for nationality that she allegedly prepared for unqualified Chinese applicants while employed as secretary to Affif. Affif, a regular visitor to the Immigration Department, was acquitted in June of this year of similar charges largely due to the lack of direct evidence linking him personally to the documents in question; evidence that Hill was expected to provide. In a footnote to today’s charges, Hill never did hear them read in court as police failed to detain her following her earlier appearance on the perjury charge. She is expected to reappear on December twentieth.
