The EU Most Wanted website has been revamped, with a new visual identity and enhanced functionality making it easier than ever for the public to help bring dangerous fugitives to justice. The revamp includes a new logo and improved user experience, reflecting the platform’s growing importance in helping law enforcement track down Europe’s most wanted criminals.
A key recent addition to the website is the new email alerts feature, allowing users to sign up for notifications whenever new fugitives are added. This feature ensures the public stays informed on the latest updates and can act quickly if they recognise any of the individuals featured, providing critical information that could lead to arrests.
The update also sees 18 new fugitives added to the site, accused of serious crimes such as human trafficking, drug trafficking, and large-scale fraud. These dangerous individuals remain at large, and their arrest is critical for the justice of their victims.
Since the EU Most Wanted website’s launch in 2016, it has facilitated the arrest of 172 fugitives, with 54 arrests directly resulting from public tips submitted through the platform. The addition of the email alerts feature enhances public engagement, making it easier than ever to help law enforcement track down those who evade justice.
By staying informed, the public can play a crucial role in supporting law enforcement in the fight against cross-border crime. Together, we can make Europe safer.
The EU Most Wanted website is an initiative of the European Network of Fugitive Active Teams (ENFAST) supported by Europol. The content is managed and published directly by national FAST teams, who upload information on their country’s most wanted fugitives and receive any leads submitted by the public.
