A resident of UK turned
fugitive Ben Fiberesima, who also called himself Roky Million, launched a
successful career in Australia where he was on the run for weapons and fraud
offences.
By the age of 26 he boast
that he was ‘worth seven figures’.
Under the name Roky Million
his hip hop career saw his work dubbed the ‘greatest UK Hip Hop Record of all
time’ by one newspaper.
His book, Roky’s Power Gain
50 claims to have helped create 317 millionaires.
But he eventually returned
to the UK and signed up with a London modelling agency and that’s when police
finally caught him.
Officers posed as
representatives of a company called WOU Photography and contacted the agency
about hiring Fiberesima as a model for a new range of sportswear.
He arrived for the planned
casting meeting on September 3, 2014, and was arrested at the entrance of the
photographic studios in Kentish Town.
He was jailed for three
years and nine months at Harrow Crown Court on May 6 after being found guilty
of two counts of theft, two counts of fraud and one of possessing a weapon.
In September 2008, police
first entered his flat in Christchurch Avenue, Harrow, north-west London and
discovered a stun gun, a canister of CS gas and a stoeln chequebook belonging to
a neighbour.
He was arrested and bailed,
but disappeared before his first court appearance.
Detective Inspector Pete
Wallis of Brent CID said: ‘There is clear message here, that we will not forget
you if you offend, and we will explore all options in tracing you and bringing
you to justice.
‘Mr Fibersima used false
identities to evade capture for five years and developed a very public persona
in Australia and internationally as a rap artist and model.
