The reality star “Love Island“, Eva Zapico, appeared in court, accused of being involved in a “finfluencer” scheme that promoted dubious investments on social media.
At just 25 years old, she is one of several celebrities, including Lauren Goodger and Yazmin Oukhellou, facing accusations after being paid to share posts on Instagram about an unauthorized currency trading scheme.
Zapico has been formally charged with issuing unauthorized financial communications but did not provide a statement and was released on bail to return to court on October 24. Her co-defendants, including winners from other reality shows, denied the charges and are expected to go to trial in 2027.
The investigation, led by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), reveals that those involved in the scheme could face up to two years in prison if convicted.
