About This List

UK NCA Most Wanted is a law enforcement appeals list published by the National Crime Agency naming 20 fugitives sought for serious offences including murder, trafficking and fraud, useful as an adverse-media signal during enhanced KYC onboarding rather than a sanctions designation.

Detailed Information

UK NCA Most Wanted List is maintained by the National Crime Agency (NCA), the United Kingdom's lead law enforcement agency responsible for fighting serious and organised crime. The NCA was established in 2013 and operates under the Crime and Courts Act 2013.

This list contains individuals wanted in connection with serious criminal offences including:

  • Murder and violent crimes
  • Drug trafficking and international narcotics networks
  • Fraud and economic crime
  • Modern slavery and human trafficking
  • Child sexual abuse and exploitation
  • Cybercrime and digital fraud

The fugitives on this list are believed to have fled the UK and may be living abroad under false identities. They are actively sought by UK law enforcement with Interpol Red Notices or European Arrest Warrants often in place.

Note: This is law enforcement data for screening purposes. Do not approach any person featured on this list - in an emergency call 999 (UK) or local police.
