The UK is issuing a renewed appeal to locate 12 fugitives who are believed to be hiding in Spain. The National Crime Agency (NCA), working with Crimestoppers and Spanish police, says the individuals are among the UK’s most wanted and are sought in connection with serious offences. The list includes accused killers, drug dealers and money launderers, according to reporting on the appeal. The effort is linked to Operation Captura, a broader NCA initiative targeting wanted offenders and suspects thought to be in Spain. One report notes that Operation Captura has resulted in arrests of 98 people out of 111 most-wanted offenders and suspects believed to be in Spain, while the latest appeal focuses on the remaining group of 12.
Separate coverage also describes the investigation as part of an ongoing hunt for fugitives believed to be present in popular areas for British visitors. The NCA’s call invites information from the public through Crimestoppers and highlights cooperation with Spanish authorities to track and arrest those named.
