Yes this is what I was referring to with perjury.

For a few examples, see

There's a number of other cases that go un-reported and likely a huge number of cases where people have lied but got away with it. Don't forget when googling though, celeb cases are more likely to be deemed news worthy, it doesn't mean there's not avg Joes being jailed as well.

The trouble with perjury, if you have to be able to prove the person lied, but if they can, fines or jail are likely because it has to be taken as a serious offence.
