Catching criminals in Spain

Under Operation Captura, led by Crimestoppers and the Serious Organised Crime Agency (SOCA), we appeal for information on criminals involved in serious organised criminality, who are believed to be on the run in Spain.

Featuring them on our Most Wanted, the appeals range from individuals wanted for murder to major drug trafficking offences.

On 20 October 2011 the seventh batch of fugitives wanted under Operation Captura was announced. See all Operation Captura appeals on Most Wanted or read the press release about the launch.
