A Bermuda Business Development Agency consultant caught using a forged document has had his contract with the agency terminated.

A spokeswoman for the BDA said: “John Narraway is no longer working for the BDA.

“The agency terminated its consultancy agreement with him as a result of the court matter reported on Friday.”

Mr Narraway, a tech entrepreneur, appeared in Magistrates’ Court on Thursday and admitted he had used fraudulent documents.

The court heard that Mr Narraway confessed to police during a traffic stop that he had forged a windshield Transport Control Document registration tag.

The vehicle’s licence had expired in June 2017, but the forged tag listed an expiration date of June 2018.

He was fined $300 for the offence.

Mr Narraway, 47, had served as an emerging technologies consultant for the BDA, but his name was removed from the BDA website after The Royal Gazette reported his conviction.

He earlier resigned from his position as chairman of the fintech Business Development Working Group on Friday.
