Inside former Brookside actor’s £13.6m criminal empire that funded luxury lifestyle

Phillip Foster exploited families across the nation by using a complex web of organized crime.

Phillip Foster, a former Brooklyn resident, appeared on the beloved 90s soap and averted a life of crime.

Despite years of avoiding police while residing in Spain, his criminal empire collapsed. The former actor avoided action for eight years over a multi-million dollar fraud empire that he co-founded by Philip Dowd while playing Christian Wright on the show.

He escaped a cell despite being found guilty of conspiracy to defraud and receiving an eight-and-a-half-year jail term in February of that year. Foster, 49, resides in Spain right now.

Foster’s criminal enterprise earned a fortune of £13.6 million, and employees who worked there were also sentenced in his absence. In connection with his crimes, seven associates were all found guilty.

Foster’s scheme aimed to connagle young victims into thinking they would work as models for a living. In the hope that it would be successful, they and their families would give up large sums of money.

Foster’s employees planned to set up a photography studio before using social media to reach potential “clients.” They would assume that anyone who responded to messages had a modeling agency interest in them.

Then, victims would be ejected from the “free” test photo shoot. They would visit the studio, go on the shoot, get to know other people had been successful in the past, get brochures, and be informed that they had passed the test.

a slew of phony studios are spread across the nation.

is there a criminal network in Nottingham, Liverpool, London, Bristol, Leeds, Coventry, and Manchester? Despite National Trading Standards’ best efforts, each city had several studios, despite the fact that Foster’s influence was limited.

The victims were informed by staff that agencies were interested in purchasing the photos in order to work as a model professionally. Some managed to escape it, but many were defrauded and given their hard-earned cash. When the scam agencies were being looked into, it was discovered that they would only exchange for a short while before quickly disbanding after having filed no returns and been the target of numerous complaints.

Another company, which was connected to the criminal network’s second layer, would inform the victim of how their potential model had been received and charge them a fee each year to ensure that their work would continue in the future. However, this never actually occurred, and investigators ended up discovering 23 businesses and 59 modeling firms with complex financial transactions.

While Foster was still living in Marbella, Spain, he employed a number of people to manage the day-to-day operations.

In London, victims were asked to pay up to £1,350 for a digital portfolio, with prices fluctuating depending on how much the seller believed they could persuade the victim. One, a mother of two, spent £700 on online profiles and a list of agencies, half of which were fictional. She then paid another £650 for an online profile.

Victims of Foster

Pete Price, a victim of Foster’s scam, described him as “brazen,” saying that he had lost thousands of dollars after being conned for an appearance at a Liverpool show. Following a county court ruling against the criminal, Pete eventually took Foster to court and won, forcibly requiring him to pay £422.50, including court costs.

Pete’s money was never returned, as Foster’s arrest was not followed by bailiffs. Later, Pete bumped into Foster at a party, where he claims Foster allegedly fanned a number of notes in front of Pete, gave him a glass of champagne, and then allegedly gave him compliments.

After receiving his sentencing, Pete said, “Seeing it brought back all the memories I had forgotten about.” How dare he rip me off, it wasn’t even the money that irritated me.

“I can recall that I received numerous calls when I spoke about it on my radio show.” God is aware of how much money he has made and spent throughout his lifetime. The fact that he would always wave money in my face really aggravated me. It’s brazen. “

The demise of a criminal empire

Philip Foster, of Marbella’s Edificio Marina, was given an eight-and-a-half-year jail term for defrauding conspiracy.

Russia pounds Ukraine, kills more civilians before White House meeting

As President Volodymyr Zelenskyy travels to Washington, DC with the support of European leaders for high-stakes peace talks with US President Donald Trump that could decide Ukraine’s future and its fate in the ongoing war, which is now in its fourth year, at least 12 people have been killed in Russian attacks on major Ukrainian cities.

Authorities in the northeastern city of Kharkiv reported on Monday that an entire family, including a toddler and a 16-year-old, were among the seven people killed in an overnight drone strike on a residential neighborhood. Six children were also hurt in the attack, which also left 20 people injured.

In attacks carried out by Russian forces in the eastern Ukrainian Donetsk region, where some of the fiercest fighting is ongoing and where Russian President Vladimir Putin feels more comfortable, wants Ukraine to leave Kyiv’s third-department.

According to Governor Ivan Fedorov, 17 people were hurt in an attack in Zaporizhzhia, a city in the southeast. The southeast of Sumy and the southeast of Odesa were also targeted by Russian air raids.

Russian forces attacked Ukraine overnight, according to the air force of Ukraine, with 140 drones and four missiles downed.

Russia has been putting more pressure on Ukraine. More than 300 civilians have been killed and 2,600 drone attacks have been reported in Ukraine, according to the UN monitoring mission’s report on the country. This is the highest rate since the start of the war.

20 people, six of whom were children, were also hurt in the Russian drone strike on a Kharkiv residential neighborhood.

Meanwhile, the Ukrainian military announced on Monday that its drones had struck an oil-pumping station in the Tambov region, which is 1,923 kilometers (1, 195 miles) away from Ukraine, forcing the Druzhba pipeline to be closed for business.

“The facility caught fire as a result of the strike,” the statement read. The General Staff of the Ukrainian military stated in a statement that oil flowed completely through the Druzhba main oil pipeline.

Four people were hurt in a Ukrainian drone attack in Belgorod, Russia, despite Russian authorities reporting shooting down hundreds of drones and munitions.

negotiating the end of the conflict

Zelenskyy described the most recent attacks on Ukraine as “demonstrative and cynical.” Putin will carry out demonstrative killings in order to pressure Ukraine and Europe and to degrade diplomatic efforts, he wrote on X.

According to Charles Stratford, a journalist from Kyiv, Zelenskyy saw the killing of civilians as a means of imposing more restrictions on Ukraine by compulsion to accept an unfavorable peace deal.

This demonstrates how much pressure Zelenskyy is currently facing as he prepares for what might be the most crucial diplomatic effort to end this conflict, according to Stratford.

Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, and Zelenskyy were scheduled to meet with Trump for talks on Monday at the White House. Possible land concessions and NATO-like security guarantees, which Ukraine needs in order to reach a peace agreement with Russia, are on the table for discussion.

Zelenskyy has so far refused to take into account the possibility of ceding Ukrainian territory in order to bring about peace. Additionally, the Ukrainian Constitution forbids it.

Following the summit between Trump and Vladimir Putin on Friday, which had no concrete resolution to the Ukraine war, the meeting comes at a later time.

Sean Bell, a military analyst, said he had no hope that the Washington, DC talks would lead to a peace agreement either. According to Bell, “Potr has no appetite for negotiations unless he has met his goals,” is the harsh reality.

“Facebook has declared that if President Zelenskyy is giving everything, that is a surrender.” He continued, “Zelenskyy can’t do that.” Bell also stated that he did not anticipate Russia to sign a deal involving security guarantees akin to those offered by NATO for Ukraine.

Bell claimed that Trump’s stringent tariffs on Russian oil and gas buyers like India were the only way to bring the conflict to a head. The US president threatened to impose these secondary sanctions, but he has so far stopped putting additional strain on Russia’s export earnings from fossil fuels.

The killing will continue, Bell said, citing Trump’s decision to avoid doing so.

By-Elections: Polls Won By Might Shouldn’t Be Condoned — Ex-PDP Legal Adviser

Mark Jacob, a former leader of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), has criticised the manner of the by-elections and reruns on August 16, 2025, and compared them to a setback for Nigeria’s democratic process.

Jacob lamented that the country had reverted to “old days,” when elections were decided by the strength of the people in power and how much security agencies were under their control. He made the remarks on Monday on Channels Television’s The Morning Brief.

He said, “We are back to the days of the stronger person in government and control of government agencies winning the election, no matter what.”

A candidate and about 25 of her supporters were allegedly abducted during a strategy meeting in Kaduna State, according to Jacob.

“We witnessed a situation where the candidate and her main supporters, who were strategising, were prevented from participating in the election or from voting until later in the day. And because government agencies held them captive, elections were being held without the candidate’s consent, he claimed.

He added that just before the elections, PDP candidates in other states were purposefully targeted for arrest.

These actions, in his opinion, violate democratic principles.

“The electoral gains made by INEC and Nigeria have all been slowed down. We are now in a place where there was peace.

You are bound to win elections if you have political will and control over the government’s agencies. And that has no impact on the nation. No one should be hysterical when we use our power to win elections. Nobody should condone it because it is not appropriate.

He also expressed disappointment with the judiciary’s role, claiming that electoral law swore to be “a ruling party” in the courts.

He said, “It is a terrible testimony to those of us in the legal profession to declare the court the ruling party in the election.”

Given that the legislature’s ability to regulate its own internal affairs has been weakened, Jacob argued that Nigerians should not anticipate proper checks and balances from the arm.

Diarra seeks £56m from Fifa and Belgian FA in legal action

Lassana Diarra, a former France midfielder, has started legal action to recover compensation from FIFA and the Royal Belgian Football Association.

Diarra has been involved in legal action against world football’s governing body Fifa after his legal team’s legal team terminated his contract with Lokomotiv Moscow in 2014.

The Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) determined in October that Fifa’s regulations, which govern some football transfers’ operation, contravene EU law.

Diarra, who played for Chelsea, Arsenal, and Portsmouth in the Premier League, stated on Monday that he hoped the RBFA and Fifa would “at least have the decency to approach me and propose an amicable settlement.”

The 40-year-old has therefore decided to start the Belgian national court case.

The CJEU alleged that Fifa’s rules “impede the free movement of professional footballers wishing to develop their activity by moving to a new club” by refusing to provide Diarra with an international transfer certificate (ITC) for a proposed move to Belgian club Charleroi in 2015.

After discovering that Diarra had broken his contract with the Russian club, Fifa required him to pay Lokomotiv Moscow an additional £8 million.

Diarra is supported by the professional footballers’ unions FifPro, FifPro Europe, and the UNFP in France.

“I have been compelled to fight this legal battle since August 2014,” I said. That’s more than 11 years, according to a joint media release from Diarra.

“I’m doing this for myself,” but I’ve also done it for all the younger, less well-known players who lack the financial and psychological resources to take on Fifa in front of actual judges.

In response to the CJEU ruling, Fifa changed its transfer regulations, establishing a temporary framework for the calculation of the contract-breaching burden and compensation payable.

However, Diarra claimed that those modifications “do not adhere to the strict requirements set forth by the CJEU decision.”

According to a Fifa spokesperson, Fifa has been working with its stakeholders to change its regulations in response to the guidance the ECJ gave in the Diarra case since its ruling in October 2024.

Fifa does not comment on ongoing legal issues.

A class action lawsuit against Fifa, along with the football associations of France, Germany, the Netherlands, Belgium, and Denmark, was launched following the CJEU ruling, asking for compensation for alleged income loss caused by stringent transfer regulations.

On Monday, JFP stated, “We stand firmly alongside Mr. Diarra.” It called on players to join its class action and stated that Fifa’s “temporary changes to the transfer rules… still don’t fully comply with EU law.”
