Can you help us find Philip Barry Foster?

Foster has been convicted over a fraud operation that used fake modelling agencies and photography studios to con victims out of large sums of cash.

Victims were told they could earn money as professional models, but were instead handed poor quality, digital photographs that were not usable to secure professional jobs.

Foster is wanted to begin an eight-and-a-half year prison sentence for his crimes.

If you have information, contact Crimestoppers.

Today, 20 British nationals have safely departed for the United Kingdom from the MV Hondius, following strict public health protocols and in close coordination with the Spanish authorities and the World Health Organization.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to the Spanish Government for their solidarity, professionalism and excellent coordination.
I also want to recognise the outstanding work of our consular teams and all colleagues across the FCDO who have worked tirelessly to protect our citizens and facilitate their return.
