The Man Who Stole Identities : Episode 508

A crime with no victims, just the faceless banks. Or is that ever really the case?

Elliot Castro was one of the most prolific fraudsters in the UK, starting from a very early age where he stole identities and credit card details to fund a life of luxury across the world. From five-star hotels to designer shopping sprees, Castro lived under countless false identities while staying one step ahead of authorities for years. But behind the glamour was a deeply compulsive double life built on deception, manipulation and fraud.

In this episode, I look at how Elliot Castro became one of the UK’s most notorious conmen - and how his extraordinary criminal career finally came crashing down.
