A fraudster who cheated elderly victims in a lottery scam - among other crimes - has been jailed 15 years after he fled the UK after money laundering offences were committed.

UK victims lost £2.4m every day to investment fraud in 2025, according to new figures published by the City of London Police.

The Pensions Regulator (TPR) has warned that fraudsters are increasingly impersonating people’s personal details to steal pensions.

The FCA, backed by City of London Police, has arrested four individuals over suspected fraud and money laundering offences.
