		</div><p>A man who promoted fake weight-loss products and was captured after a year on the run was granted an early release from an Australian prison, after serving one year behind bars.</p>
<p>The Federal Court in Brisbane approved Peter Foster’s bid for an early release from his 18-month prison sentence. Justice John Logan warned him to stay out of trouble until his full sentence has expired, the Associated Press reported.</p>
<p>Foster, 53, was convicted last year of assaulting police and resisting arrest when officers found him hiding out near the resort town of Byron Bay, 500 miles north of Sydney, after spending a year on the run.</p>
<p>Foster, who came to public prominence in the UK with his previous dealings with Cherie Blair, vanished in 2013 after failing to show up at a sentencing hearing.</p>
<p>That sentence related to his conviction for flouting a court ban in 2005 on participating in the weight-loss industry.</p>
<p>The judge last year did not impose a sentence on him for the convictions related to his arrest, ordering him instead to serve out his earlier sentence for promoting a mouth spray that was falsely marketed as a weight-loss product.</p>
<p>Asked what his plans are now that he is a free man, Foster replied that it was “a bit early in the day for a lap dance”.</p>
<p>“So I think I’ll just go home to my mum and make a cup of tea, hold her hand and tell her I’m sorry for the last 12 months,” he said.</p>
<p>Foster also became the subject of controversy in Britain when he helped Mrs Blair, wife of former prime minister Tony Blair, buy two reduced-price apartments in Bristol in 2002.</p>
<p>The scandal dubbed “Cheriegate” prompted Mrs Blair to make a public apology.</p>
