    Default Lying on a CV About a Prison Sentence

    My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: UK

    Hi
    I am not sure if anybody can help me, but I am from UK and am after some advice.
    I was convicted of drug smuggling (Coke in South America) 8 years ago, and was sentenced to 25 years, however managed to get that reduced and out within 5.
    I am now employed in UK by large corporate co, and doing really well, but I lied on my application about this charge - I am so worried that somebody will find out - I have told a lot of people about this charge, and have made some enemies.
    What would happen if somebody told my company? How would they check, or would they even bother to check now? I am not sure if I have a criminal record, it wouldn't be here in the UK, but my country of origin is SAfrica, and the offence was in Peru.
    Any advice greatly greatly received.
    Many thanks

    Default Re: 25 Year Jail Sentance - Lying on Cv

    This is primarily a US forum, and I'm not sure that we have any responders versed in UK law, which is not the same as US law.

    In the US, if the lie was discovered, and it could be, that would be grounds for immediate termination. While I cannot say for certain, I find it difficult to believe that the UK does not have a like provision.

    You may be able to find additional information here.
