Reprobate from Capri, possibly (3)

I believe the answer is:

rip

'reprobate' is the definition.
(informal term for a fraud)

'from capri possibly' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'RIP' is hidden in the letters of 'capri possibly'.

(Other definitions for rip that I've seen before include "Tear, rent" , "comment on one passing" , "found on grave?" , "Tear; gravestone letters" , "Letters for the deceased" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
