Who is on the Interpol World's Most Wanted List and how many of the criminals are from the UK?

Rather than give the people a ranking the list is simply inclusive.

What is a 'red notice'?

A red notice is an international alert to give notification about crimes, criminals and threats from police.

There are eight types of notices, seven of which are colour-coded by their function: Red, Blue, Green, Yellow, Black, Orange, and Purple.

Red notices give details of people wanted by a judicial jurisdiction or an international tribunal with a view to his/her extradition.

Notices can be issued in any of the four languages used by Interpol – English, Spanish, French and Arabic.
