Fagin was a Jewish receiver of stolen goods and leader of a gang of young theives and pickpockets in London. Many interpret the descriptions of Fagin to imply pedophelia. He's hired by Oliver's half-brother Monks to corrupt and later to kill Oliver, so Monks can inherit a fortune that should go to Oliver. Fagin is captured at the end of the book and hanged.
