A gangster who launched a
successful career as a male model and musician while on the run in Australia
has been snared in an extraordinary police sting.
Officers from Brent’s
Wanted Offenders Unit received an anonymous tip-off that Fiberesima was back in
London in August living under a false name but were unable to locate him.
Then detectives discovered
he was on the books of a respected models agency based in Covent Garden.
An officer contacted the agency claiming to represent the fake company WOU Photography and booked Fiberesima for a casting call to model a range of luxury swimwear.
When he arrived for what he thought was his next assignment at the studio in Kentish Town, Fiberesima was arrested at the door.
Fiberesima was jailed for three years and nine months after being found guilty of two counts of theft, two counts of making false representation and possessing an offensive weapon at Harrow Crown Court earlier this month.
He also pleaded guilty to three counts of making false representation and one count of possessing a prohibited weapon.
Fiberesima was originally arrested in September 2008 after calling police claiming someone was attempting to enter his flat in Christchurch Avenue, Brondesbury, north-west London.
When officers arrived, there was no intruder but they did find a stun gun, a can of CS gas and stolen chequebooks belonging to a neighbour.
He was arrested and charged with fraud, theft and possession of an offensive weapon

The gang member from the
South Kilburn estate was granted bail but failed to appear at court and was
subsequently discovered to have fled the country.
He said he had gone from “working class to millionaire in 15 months”, writing: “I grew up in government housing and have been for 80 per cent of my life. I am now worth seven figures at age 26. I used my in depth knowledge of power to change my fortunes.”

The last message on his
Twitter feed, posted in December last year, said: “To all: Roky’s in the 5% of
rappers that can genuinely be described as ‘real’ so as is life he’ll be away
til further notice #management.”
He declares : “I have had ups and downs, trials and tribulations, like everyone else” and said in his youth he mixed with gang members but had since changed his life.
He added: “ I keep it as honest as I can.”
He added: “ I keep it as honest as I can.”
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 Fiberesima 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.
“Thankfully he is now paying for his crimes, due to the perseverance of Brent’s Wanted Offenders Unit.”
A spokesman for Established Models said he had been on their books as Mr Million for a few months two years ago. He said : “He was not working, so we let him go. “
