Florida – Couple was arrested after they allegedly used fake COVID-19 vaccination cards after they arrived for a family vacation in Hawaii.
The couple was arrested on August 11 on the north shore of the city when they tried to use the cards for their children.
Daniela, 31, and Enzo Dalmazzo, 43, of Miami Beach, were charged with numerous counts of using the falsified documents when they arrived in Honolulu, Hawaii. The couple was cited a total of $8,000 for breaching the state’s emergency pandemic proclamation and that both had since posted bail.
In court records filed with the Hawaii Attorney General’s office, and seen by reports , it was found Enzo was charged with one count of using a fake COVID-19 vaccination document while Daniela was handed three counts.
“Public records show Enzo Dalmazzo was cited for $2,000, while Daniela Dalmazzo received a $6,000 citation for submitting fake vaccination cards for herself and two children under the age of 12.”
The arrests were carried out as part of Hawaii’s Safe Travels program, introduced during the pandemic, and had been the second case of tourists using faked vaccine documents in the last week.
Special Agent Joe Logan, who works at the Hawaii Attorney General’s Office, told the network: “The screener at the airport when they came through noticed an anomaly about the age of the children and the vaccine and that’s how we got involved.
Should the couple be found guilty of faking the vaccination cards, they could face a fine of up to $5,000, upwards of one year in jail, or both.
