Guardia Civil turns to public to hunt down 19 of Europe’s most wanted fugitives
Have you walked past one of Europe’s most wanted criminals without realising? They could be living under a false identity, […]
The Guardia Civil is turning to the public in an effort to track down 19 of Europe's most wanted fugitives. The 19 individuals are wanted for serious crimes, including crimes against children and fraud against older people. Anyone who believes they have seen one of the wanted people should not approach them, but should instead contact the Guardia Civil on 062 or email huidos@guardiacivil.org.
The appeal is part of a new Europol campaign that aims to catch fugitives wanted across 14 countries. Two Spanish fugitives, José Antonio García Moya and Segundo Cousido, have been identified in the campaign. Europol is using its Europe-wide network to circulate the fugitives' photographs and details in hopes that someone will recognize them or know where they are hiding.
The campaign comes as the EU Most Wanted website, launched in 2016, marks its tenth anniversary. Since its inception, 191 fugitives have been arrested, with public information helping to make 58 of those arrests. Anyone with information about the fugitives can contact the Guardia Civil anonymously through the website or email.
