While we were writing this article, they fought for the right to stand at the top of the villain charts.

Max Viltovsky

It is believed that if you already liked the CIA or the FBI, then you can not hide. But there are still villains who are knee-deep in intelligence and shoulder-deep in the special services. These hide-and-seek champions are called criminals number one.

1. Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi

Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi preferred to keep a low profile. But some episodes from his life are still known. For example, recently his wife ran away from him. Let's not even imagine what will happen to her if al-Baghdadi's thugs find her.

Ibrahim Awwad Ibrahim Ali al-Badri (birth name) was born in 1971 near Baghdad. His father Avvad, a mullah at the local mosque, instilled in Ibrahim a love of religion. From an early age, he liked to gather the surrounding children and read the Koran to them. Listen, right on the street. And in power in Iraq at that time was the Baath Party, which was against the vigorous spread of religion.

When it came time to decide on a higher education, young al-Baghdadi suddenly decided to become a lawyer. But due to poor grades and bad English, he flew past the law school. But the young man was gladly taken to the theological, which he soon exchanged for the University of Islamic Sciences and successfully graduated from it.

In 2000, having received a master's degree, the future caliph moved to Baghdad. There was enough money for a small room in the poorest area of ​​the city. During the four years of his life in the capital, he changed two wives and got six children. During the day he taught other people's children the Koran (for a salary), and in the evening he played in a football club, which was located near the house. The locals even called him "our Messi".

But many did not like Ibrahim. He was very correct and, unfortunately for the neighbors, extremely attentive. One day, when he saw men and women dancing together at a wedding, he immediately interrupted this blasphemy. The holiday was ruined. And so all the time.

In 2004 he was arrested. According to American intelligence, Ibrahim was in al-Qaeda, though an ordinary member. From February to December, he was held at the American military camp Bucca. Now former prisoners recall that even then he gave instructions to the captives, based not on general, but on personal interpretations of Islam.

After his release, Abu Bakr continued to work for al-Qaeda. And soon, due to internal conflict, the most brutal members of al-Qaeda left the organization and created the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. Ibrahim was appointed chief of propaganda. And in 2010, after the assassination of the ISIS leader, it was he who temporarily became the leader. Religious authority remains the leader to this day.

Three years later, Ibrahim changed the name of the organization to the Islamic State and, in addition, changed his name to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Along the way, he proclaimed himself a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad.

ISIS gained notoriety, as you probably remember, in 2014, when the group took control of a significant part of northern Iraq within a month.

The US is promising to give $10 million to anyone who brings them Abu Dua, as the State Department affectionately calls it.

2. Mexican drug lord Joaquin Archivaldo Guzmán Loera

He was able to escape from prison twice and can rightly be considered the main Mexican drug lord and the largest drug dealer in history, surpassing even the legendary Pablo Escobar in terms of influence and wealth. After the death of Osama bin Laden, he is considered the most dangerous wanted criminal in the world.

The future billionaire was born into a poor family: his father was officially a cattle breeder, and unofficially grew opium poppy. Since the nearest school was 60 kilometers away, little Joaquin spent time helping his dad in the field. At the age of 15, he left his father's house due to conflicts with his father and went to look for a better life.

Fate brought him into contact with Hector Salazar, a drug smuggler who worked for the Guadalajara cartel. Joaquin was put in charge of contacts with Colombian drug dealers. But not right away, of course. He had to honestly earn a reputation as a serious merchant. For the delay of the goods, Joaquin personally killed the carriers on the spot. The same fate awaited competitors and defectors. In the early 1980s, Joaquin became the personal driver of cartel head Felix Gallardo.

In 1989, Gallardo went to jail, and his cartel was divided into several parts, and one of them, Sinaloa, was headed by Joaquin Guzman.

When Sinaloa already accounted for almost half of the drug traffic from Mexico to the United States, Joaquin was assassinated. Unsuccessful. But the Mexican authorities got lucky: then they caught the drug lord. He was to spend the next 20 years behind bars.

With the protection of the oligarch behaved extremely arrogantly. The jailers described him as an egocentric, cunning, stubborn and narcissistic type. In general, both parties did not like each other, so Joaquin left them in 2001. Escaped from a high security prison by hiding in a laundry basket!

Then for 13 years he was elusive. But still got caught again. This time, Joaquin was sent to the Altiplano. Two years later, in July 2014, the guard brought a meager breakfast to the four walls of the cell. Shorty escaped through a dug tunnel one and a half kilometers long. The investigation found that this time the escape was planned and, most likely, he was helped inside the prison. A hole from the chamber led to an underground passage with lighting, ventilation and steps. The path to freedom was very comfortable.

On January 8, 2016, Mexican law enforcement again caught Guzmán and escorted him to prison, to the same Altiplano from which he escaped six months ago.

3. "King of gangsters" Daoud Ibrahim

Daoud, the "godfather of the godfathers," has been wanted since the FBI suspected him of links to al-Qaeda and its South Asian affiliate, Lashkare Taiba. Although the scope of interests of his company D-Company extends to different areas, from drug trafficking to contract killings. The Bureau sent a letter to Pakistan demanding that the criminal be handed over to them. The country's authorities assured the American side that they did not have such a person. It was later revealed that Pakistan took care of Daoud's safety by sending him with a new passport to some Asian country. Some sources from London claimed that to Kazakhstan.

American intelligence found out about this Indian gangster in 1993. Then it became known that it was he who organized a series of terrorist attacks in Mumbai, as a result of which 257 people died.

Now Daud Ibrahim is trying to catch the FBI and a number of other serious international organizations. But even with such an impressive tail, the gangster manages to remain one of the main drug suppliers to Western Europe.

Interpol claims that he is extremely rich in names: 16 different certificates and 11 passports that were issued in different countries (Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates, Yemen and India). According to the latest data, he has been hiding in Sydney since 2015.

4. Sicilian mafia boss Matteo Messina Denaro

Matteo was born on April 26, 1962 to the family of mafia Francesco Messina, and for this reason alone he could not help but become a villain. From childhood, he was brought up according to all the rules of the mafia.

Matteo killed for the first time at the age of 18. Since then, more than 50 victims have been attributed to him. He became an authoritative member of the gang in the summer of 1992. In July, he shot his father's annoying competitor, Vincenzo Milazzo. He did not spare his woman either, even though she was in her third month of pregnancy. Then his murderous appetites increased greatly. The proverb has become commonplace that, they say, with the people whom he sent to the other world, you can fill an entire cemetery.

Most of all, Matteo loves beautiful girls and Italian cars. Once he did away with the owner of the hotel, who dared to reproach him for cohabiting with several underage girls. In the 90s, he was called the organizer of explosions in a number of Italian cities. It is assumed that this was his response to the decision of the authorities to arrange a "dark" Sicilian mafia. In 2002, after a long and fruitless search, he was sentenced in absentia to life imprisonment.

By this time he was already an influential person. Since 1998, when his father died, he began to realize a long-standing dream - the unification of the twenty main mafia families separately from the Cosa Nostra. And he was very successful.

In 2006, the head of the Cosa Nostra went to jail. While the voting for the next leader was being organized, two of Denaro's competitors were unexpectedly arrested. As a result, the election turned into a farce, and Matteo was chosen as the new "godfather".

On April 6, 1994, for unknown reasons, the plane of Rwandan President Juvenal Habyarimana crashed. The businessman blamed the Nilotic tribes for this, who came to the country from the north in the 16th century and seized power over the Hutus and Pygmies. (And, to completely confuse you, know that the Hutu came a century earlier and enslaved the pygmies, while actively cutting down forests.) Over time, a serious confrontation began between Hutu farmers and Tutsi pastoralists, which continues to this day.

The death of the president was the impetus for a long-growing bloody conflict. Businessman Felicien Kabuga called on the Hutu tribe once and for all to crack down on the Tutsi barbarians on local radio. During the 100 days of the civil war, according to some sources, from 500 thousand to 1 million inhabitants of the country were killed. Of these, only 10% are from the side of the Hutus. The murder rate in Rwanda was five times higher than during World War II in the death camps!

When the storm subsided, an international tribunal accused Kabug in absentia of genocide and demanded that he be handed over for a fair trial. The Rwandan authorities did not dare to arrest the magnate. He took advantage of the confusion and fled the country - according to some sources, to Switzerland.

The FBI is offering $5 million to whoever brings Felicien Kabug to them.

Lone criminals

According to statistics, the most dangerous lone criminals are sexual maniacs. They are rightfully considered the most cautious, cunning and resourceful of all types of assassins. Their mental disorders (which, no doubt, all sexual maniacs suffer) give them desperation and deceit, unthinkable for people with a healthy psyche.

Monster of the century

According to the Guinness Book of Records, the "monster of the century" is Pedro Alonso Lopez who was born in 1949. By his own admission, he killed about 300 young girls (under 10 years old) in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Only 53 bodies were found by the police.

Jack the Ripper

In the second half of 1888, five prostitutes were murdered with brutal cruelty in London. 72 suspects from different walks of life went through the criminal case - even several members of the royal family. But all the efforts of the police were in vain - they could not catch the killer, and his identity was never established. Jack the Ripper- this name was signed in a letter received by the Central News Agency, in which the killer (if the letter was really written by him) confessed to the murder of two women.

German maniac Bruno

The third in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records and the worst killer in Europe of the twentieth century is considered a German maniac Bruno Ludke. From 1927 to 1943, he committed the murders of 85 women. Once he was detained for attempted rape, and he was castrated, but even after that he continued to kill. Ludke was executed in Vienna on April 8, 1944.

Fighters for the idea

Next on the list of the worst criminals of the 20th century are terrorists who call themselves "fighters for an idea." The most dangerous among them is considered a terrorist Abu Nidal. He is responsible for the 1985 Rome and Vienna airport bombings.

Deranged (supposedly sexually driven) Korean police officer Wow bom con from the province of Gyeongsam Namdo in April 1982, killed 57 people in two days.

Among women, the most brutal killer of the twentieth century is considered an Englishwoman Judith Minna Wadd. On account of her 12 murders, for which she was sentenced to death in November 1974.

The main monopolists of the underworld are, of course, men. More active, aggressive by nature and rarely suffering from excessive sensitivity, the representatives of the stronger sex will easily do anything to achieve a personal goal. However, some girls may well compete with guys on this field: here we have collected the most dangerous criminals that the police have ever wanted.

Known as the Queen of the Pacific, Sandra Beltran managed to become one of the most formidable drug dealers of her time. The girl headed the odious Sinaloa cartel, at the same time arranging love games with another Colombian - Juan Diego Espinoza. At its peak, Beltran controlled a large share of the drug trade between Colombia and Mexico. The beauty led a truly luxurious lifestyle - and still leads it, even while sitting behind bars.

Patty Hurst

The story of Patty Hearst seemed to have descended from the pages of pulp fiction. The heiress of a media mogul was kidnapped by guerrillas of the Symbionese Liberation Army. After some time, the news channels received a video in which Patty solemnly joins the ranks of the SOA. The police caught the rebel during a bank robbery: with her new friends, she brandished a gun and defiantly fired into the air. Patty was sentenced to seven years in prison: it turned out that the girl took part in the ritual murders of the gang.

Janine Jones

Working as a nurse in a pediatric ward has never satisfied Janine. The girl wanted fame and money at the same time - but in a provincial Texas hospital there are not many chances to break the bank. Jones decided to pull off a tricky business: give dangerous drugs to controlled children, and then, when the attention of the public all over the country will be riveted on the hospital, solemnly save them. Janine injected the children with digoxin, heparin, and succinylcholine. Some test subjects died immediately from cardiac paralysis and respiratory problems, others were saved. The police failed to provide hard evidence of the nurse's apparent guilt in this terrible atrocity - Jenine was charged with a single negligent murder and was imprisoned for only three years.

Karla Homolka

Homolka was an active participant in several rapes and murders, co-authored with her husband, Paul Bernardo. They killed a couple of teenage girls and even Carla's little sister. The couple documented some of their heinous crimes. The police caught both of them, but Carla managed to put most of the blame on her husband - which, as it turned out later, turned out to be a complete lie.

Diana Downes

Diana Downes can easily be called the worst mother in the world. She tried to kill all her children just because her roommate didn't like them very much. Downs shot the girls several times, carried the bodies to the car and went to the hospital. Easily wounding herself in the hand, the girl planned to come up with a legend about the attempted hijacking. The doctors managed to save three children, the youngest died on the operating table. The eldest told the police the whole truth. Diana Downes received a life sentence.

The vast majority of people are fond of secrets, intrigues, riddles, including detective ones. Reading a detective or watching intensely the development of action on the screen, we involuntarily catch ourselves thinking that we know for sure that the criminal will be captured and justice will prevail. Maybe detectives are a kind of fairy tale for adults. It's so nice to know that good always triumphs over evil. All good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished. We all fully agree with Gleb Zheglov from the cult series "The meeting place cannot be changed": "A thief must be in prison." And also a robber, a murderer, a rapist and, of course, a terrorist.

Unfortunately, life is far from being so smooth. Very often, criminals roam free or are wanted for many years. For example, we all know the sad example of Osama bin Laden. For his capture, the highest award in the world was appointed - $25 million. All over the world he was known as the number one terrorist. The leader of an Islamic terrorist organization, who initiated terrible terrorist attacks that claimed many hundreds of lives, fortunately, is no longer afraid of us. On May 2, 2011, he was destroyed in Pakistan by American special forces soldiers. But other haters of humanity took his place. The list of wanted criminals is constantly updated: you can find international terrorists, rapists and pedophiles, drug dealers and scammers in it ... They are wanted by Interpol, the FBI, the CIA, the FSB and everything so that people can live in peace. The most famous criminals in the world:

An ordinary school teacher took the place of bin Laden. He loved his students, but he loved them too much. The FBI accuses him of making, storing and distributing child pornography. Eric knew computer skills quite well, skillfully covered his tracks, but one day he made a mistake: he did not erase a film of his own making from a regular school video camera.

For a long time he tried to hide, but last year he was arrested in Nicaragua. By the way, in his first arrest, he managed to escape from custody. We hope that law enforcement officers, taught by bitter experience, will be more attentive and the offender will suffer a well-deserved punishment. All over the world, calling for war and inciting ethnic hatred is considered a terrible crime, for which serious punishment is provided. It happens that the criminal does not personally kill anyone, but because of his illegal actions, the blood of thousands of innocent people will be shed.

This oligarch from Rwanda fanned a real genocide in his country. In 1994, a terrible tragedy occurred in Rwanda: as a result of a plane crash, their president died. After that, Kabuga appealed to the population of the country with an appeal: the Hutu tribe should completely destroy the Tutsi tribe, who are their primordial enemies. Kabuga unfoundedly accused representatives of the Tutsi tribe of plotting and physically destroying the country's leader. After that, a bloody civil war swept through the country. More than 100,000 people found their death in it, many were maimed, raped, robbed, left homeless. Orphans roamed the country, subjected to violence and humiliation ...

The UN and the international tribunal demanded that the instigators of this war be brought to trial, one of the first to be brought to trial by Kabug. Even today the FSB is promising 5 million dollars just for information about the whereabouts of this criminal. But the Rwandan government believes that a person with such a condition cannot be convicted, which is why the perpetrator is at large.

The doctor and Muslim theologian was second only to Bin Laden in the infamous al-Qaeda organization around the world. After the death of the leader, he took his place. Even in his youth, in his native Egypt, Ayman founded the extremist organization Islamic Jihad. He was suspected for a long time, but could not prove his involvement in the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. After that, Ayman left the country, first joined the Afghan Mujahideen, and then joined Al-Qaeda and gradually became one of its leaders. In Egypt, he was sentenced to death in absentia, and the FSB promises 25 million dollars for his head, but so far without success.

This man is the most famous drug dealer in the world. According to Forbes magazine, he is one of the richest people in the world. Also according to this magazine, he is the most wanted criminal in the world.

Loera, known in Mexico under the nickname "Shorty", has long been a billionaire. Leads the world's largest drug cartel, Sinaloa. Delivers Colombian cocaine to the United States, produces methamphetamine, marijuana and pure heroin. The FBI is ready to pay for the capture of Loera 5 million dollars, and the government of Mexico 30 million pesos. But, probably, the criminal pays even more for his protection, and so far one can only dream of his capture.

He is the most wanted criminal in India, but in his activities he has long crossed the borders of this country. He chose the drug trade and the preparation of contract killings of major political figures from around the world as the main areas of his activity. According to the UN Security Committee, it was Kaskar who provided constant support to al-Qaeda, financed terrorist attacks in the United States, smuggled weapons and provided all kinds of assistance and support to Bin Laden.

According to some reports, this criminal is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, although the Pakistani authorities strongly deny this. For a good ten years, Cascar has been wanted by Interpol, but so far to no avail.

His other name is Sergey Schneider, a citizen of Russia, known to the widest public in connection with the high-profile Arbat Prestige case. In 2008, Mogilevich and Vladimir Nekrasov, co-owners of the Arbat Prestige network of expensive perfume shops and factories, were detained in the Russian capital and accused of tax evasion in the amount of almost 50 million rubles. Subsequently, both defendants were released on a large bail, and then a year later the case against them was dismissed. In 2013, the FBI charged Mogilevich in absentia with fraud and money laundering, but so far the criminal is at large and where exactly he is hiding, the authorities do not know.

Tokhtakhunov, a native of sultry Uzbekistan, known by the nickname Taiwanchik, is accused of drug trafficking and arms smuggling in the United States. In addition, he organized a gang to steal and sell expensive cars.

In 2003, in Italy, the police were able to arrest a criminal. The US tried to extradite him. But the FBI's request was rejected, and Tokhtakhunov was released, where he remains to this day.

The leader of the militants of the North Caucasus, the third Russian who received the dubious honor of being included in the list of the most wanted criminals in the world. Domodedovo. For his capture, the US authorities have appointed a reward - 5 million dollars.Not so long ago there was information about his death, but many doubt it.

It is surprising that with such large awards assigned by the governments of different countries, the criminals are still at large and doing their dirty work. Maybe it’s worth thinking about the fact that the capture of a criminal is not only a matter for the authorities and law enforcement agencies, but absolutely all people should be vitally interested in this
