From accused terrorists to paedophiles, alleged fraudsters, money launderers and drug smugglers, these British nationals are among the world's most wanted criminals.  

The International Criminal Police Organisation, known as Interpol, is charged with hunting them down.

There are currently 7,000 people worldwide who have 'Red Notices' served on them by the international policing operation. 

These 13 criminals are all British nationals with 'Red Notices' on Interpol's website, meaning they're actively being sought. But many posses dual citizenship or contacts in foreign countries which have so far allowed them to dodge police.

Mohammed Ali Ege, 44, is wanted in connection with the murder of 17-year-old Aamir Siddiqi and a string of fraud charges

Born in Dubai and also wanted in India, the 44-year-old is accused of a string of fraud and forgery charges. 

He became one of Europe's most wanted men after fleeing the country and evading arrest and later extradition. 

After he was captured by Indian authorities and awaiting extradition in 2017, he told officers he needed to use the toilet while in a train station before launching a daring escape through an open window. 

Ege also stands accused of harbouring an offender and disposing of evidence of an offence. 

Newly released photographs from 2021 appear to show Ege sporting a scruffy beard and a hat, with officers convinced he may have significantly changed his appearance since 2010. 

In 2013, Jason Richards and Ben Hope were sentenced to 40 years in prison each at Swansea Crown Court after being found guilty of Aamir's murder and the attempted murder of his parents. 

They had each been paid £1,000 in ‘blood money’ to kill a middle-aged man who owed money to a businessman.

But the balaclava-wearing assassins went to the Siddiqi family home by mistake where they killed the teenager.

Known as the 'White Widow', British jihadist Samantha Lewthwaite, 37, was born in Banbridge, Northern Ireland, went to school in Buckinghamshire and later studied in London.

She converted to Islam as a teenager and went on to marry Jamaica-born extremist and 7/7 London terrorist bomber Germaine Lindsay. 

Her 'The White Widow' nickname came after Lindsay blew himself up on July 7, 2005 during a series of bombings across London which killed 52 people.

He killed 26 civilians in his suicide attack. Lewthwaite was eight months pregnant with their second child, a daughter, at the time of his death, and their first child, a son, was 14 months old.

The mother-of-four, who grew up in Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, was reportedly trying to gather a team of fanatics to attack popular tourist resorts across the globe in 2018.

Previously, she was linked to grenade attacks at non-Muslim places of worship, an explosion at a Kenyan bar in 2012 and the Nairobi shopping mall attack in 2013.

Lewthwaite is understood to be responsible for the deaths of more than 400 people internationally.

The 37-year-old terrorist fled the UK for South Africa in 2009, later crossing into Tanzania in 2011 and then Kenya. 

Investigators later tracked her to Somalia, where she sheltered with al-Shabaab militants, before travelling around 200 miles across the Gulf of Aden to war-torn Yemen three years ago. 

British intelligence officials believe Lewthwaite relocated to war-torn Yemen after being linked to atrocities in Kenya and Somalia in Africa. 

In Yemen, she is understood to have recruited female suicide bombers with bribes of £3,000. She is also thought to have sent male suicide bombers as young as 15, high on heroin, to their deaths.
