The article contains the names of the most wanted people.

This man has already become a real legend of the underworld. And the people of Mexico even use his name as a synonym for the term "cruel." Guzman is a Mexican drug lord who created the largest drug cartel on the planet, Sinaloa.

Several times the police have already managed to detain him and even sentence him to a long term of imprisonment, however, “Shorty” each time managed to escape even from the most guarded prison in the country.


Despite the fact that today Joaquin is wanted, he continues to earn a lot of money for the trade in various drugs. Anyone who helps find and detain the criminal is promised a reward of 5 million US dollars. At the moment, this amount is the maximum award that US law enforcement officers have ever placed on the head of a criminal.

In his homeland, in Egypt, he has long been sentenced to capital punishment. He is also wanted by Interpol officers for organizing and carrying out more than 10 terrible terrorist attacks around the world.


Today, David leads one of the universal criminal gangs in the world D-Company. It is called universal because it was seen in various areas of criminal activity: drug trafficking, weapons, contract killings and other crimes. His name is associated with the founding of al-Qaeda and another criminal structure, Lashkar-e-Taiba.


In the past, he is an ordinary Russian businessman who later became involved in money laundering. Today, however, Mogilevich is better known as the organizer of numerous dens and illegal nightclubs in Russia and Hungary. In addition, his name is associated with one of the factories that produces weapons.


There are speculations that, among other things, Mogilevich is even involved in the nuclear arms trade. It is believed that he is the true owner of such enterprises as Eural Trans Gas or RosUkrEnergo. Once he was already arrested on suspicion of non-payment of a large amount of taxes. It happened in 2008. However, very soon all charges against him were dropped, and Mogilevich himself was released.

This person is considered the responsible person of Al-Qaeda, which operates on the territory of the Arabian Peninsula. Nasser is considered the best recruiter that this terrorist organization has ever had. He has thousands of new shots to his credit.


In 2006, Yemeni law enforcement officers already detained this criminal, but for unknown reasons, they were unable to collect the necessary amount of evidence of this man's involvement in a series of crimes. Therefore, he was released. According to some reports, Nasser is in Yemen.

Today, it is he who is one of the most famous criminals on the Sicilian Peninsula. Nickname Matteo "Diabolic", which means "devilish" in translation. Denaro's parents also belonged to the underworld. Diabolik's father led a mafia clan in Trapani.


Matteo gained his fame after he got rid of his main competitor Vincenzo Millazo with his own hands. Moreover, he also killed his girlfriend, who at that time was pregnant.

After his father's death, Denaro took over the family's criminal business. And after Bernardo Provenzano was arrested, just Matteo became the main Italian mafia.

In the underworld, this person is better known as Taiwanchik. He has always been a passionate fan of football and even sponsored some sports and cultural figures. For his philanthropic activities in France, he was even awarded the Order of the Legion of Honor. In addition, Taiwanchik became famous for cheating cards, rigging the results of the figure skating championship, drug trafficking and weapons. Today he is perhaps the most wanted criminal in Germany and America.


In the spring of 1994, a plane crashes carrying the incumbent president of Rwanda. After his death, a war begins in the country between the two opposing tribes of Hutu and Tutsi. The well-known media tycoon Kabuga from TV screens and pages of all printed publications in Rwanda calls on representatives of the Hutu to ruthlessly kill anyone who, in their opinion, is an enemy.


During the numerous ethnic cleansings, more than 800 thousand people died, who in one way or another belonged to the Tutsis. They did not spare even those who simply looked sympathetically towards the poor tribe. The world community simply could not pass by such arbitrariness. For the capture of the media tycoon, a reward of 5 million US dollars was assigned. However, so far there has not been a daredevil who could go against this murderer.

This man is known as the founder and leader of the Lord's Resistance Army, a criminal organization that operates in Uganda. In the past, Koni was an ordinary priest who led an uprising in 1987, after which he declared himself a messenger of the Lord. Until now, his gang has been attacking Ugandan villages, where they commit murder, violence and theft. At the same time, all members of the group justify their actions by God's will.


This man is also known as the head of the self-proclaimed Ichkeria and one of the leaders of the Chechen terrorists. Many high-profile terrorist attacks are associated with his name, including explosions in the Moscow metro, Domodedovo, etc. There is information that at the moment he is in Turkey.


Its liquidation has already been announced at least 10 times, and each time this information turns out to be false. For the capture of this criminal, the authorities of America and Russia promise a reward of 5 million US dollars.

He also said that the most reckless type of hunting is hunting for a person. And the one who tried to do it at least once will never be interested in anything else. History has many examples of this. Almost every decade in the history of our country and other countries of the world is marked by the actions of another criminal, terrorist or maniac.

The most dangerous people in the world are listed in the Guinness Book of Records. Is it worth remembering Osama bin Ladan or Chikatilo? Their names are scary, although these criminals will not be able to harm anyone else. However, the human race will never tire of destroying itself. The greatest danger to contemporaries are those criminals who are still at large, despite the huge sums appointed for their lives.

We present to your attention a list of the 10 most dangerous people in the world.

General Joshua Blahai

Today, Joshua Blahai is a well-known preacher who has many followers, despite the rather original thoughts and manner of his sermon. However, he did not always play such a role. Many old-timers remember a time before 1996 when Blahai led the rebel militias that fought in the first Liberian Civil War. He was known as the most dangerous man, a tyrant and a despot who worshiped Satan. This information is confirmed by Joshua himself, who in many interviews stated that it was the devil who made him do terrible things. However, he never repented of his crimes.

The tyranny of a general

So why did Blahai make the list of the most dangerous people in the world? Before sending detachments of his soldiers into battle, he practiced sacrifice. Moreover, the victims of rituals have always been small children. According to the general himself, the reward for the sacrifice will be greater, the younger her blood. All that was on the soldiers during the battle was shoes, and, of course, weapons. Before the battle, his soldiers took alcohol and drugs, after which they shot everyone and everything in their path. The general's detachments destroyed entire villages, so the exact number of their victims is still not known. He replenished his children after he shot their parents.

In an interview, Blahai said that he committed his first murder, which he calls a sacrifice to the devil, at the age of 11. He became the killer of his best friend and was going to continue to sacrifice people every month until he was 25 years old.

Brutal killings and tyranny ended only in 1996, along with the war.

Semyon Mogilevich

For the title of "the most dangerous man in the world in history," another criminal, whose homeland is Ukraine, can compete. By the way, in different countries it is known under other names. This person is wanted in four countries of the world, of which he is a citizen: Ukraine, Russia, Hungary, Israel.

American and European unanimously call Mogilevich the leader of the Russian mafia. This person is called the genius of the underworld, who is able to lead a huge criminal network. Its members operate in almost every developed country. The main ones of Mogilevich are prostitution, arms and drug trafficking, racketeering, identity theft.

In 2008, he was nevertheless arrested by Russian law enforcement officers, but was soon released under Where Smart Don is now, as he was called in America, is unknown, but the FBI offers 100 thousand dollars for information that will contribute to his capture and arrest.

Diabolic

The most dangerous man in the world and at the same time the most wanted in Italy is the Sicilian mafia Mateo Messina Denaro, better known as Diabolic.

Denaro became the "godfather" of the Sicilian mafia in 2009, but his career in the underworld began much earlier. He started out as a contract killer. According to police, more than 50 people died at his hands. Diabolic gained popularity in the underworld after he killed his competitor and his pregnant girlfriend.

Back in 2002, Denaro was sentenced to life imprisonment, but he was tried in absentia. Despite all the investigative measures that have been carried out many times by the police in order to apprehend the most dangerous gangster of the 21st century, he remains elusive.

Joseph Kony

The title of "The most dangerous man in the world in the history of the world" can also be received by Ugandan Joseph Koni, who is the leader of the Lord's Resistance Army. The military group created by Koni is in constant conflict with the government of Uganda.

LRA members believe that their leader is able to talk to the Lord. However, this does not stop Kony from raising his followers as brutal killers. The term “educate” is not used here by chance, because the group mainly consists of children. For all the time of its existence, about 30 thousand minors were abducted. To turn a child into a killer, the leader of the group does not need much time. The victim lives in a camp for several weeks, where he succumbs to severe psychological pressure. After that, he is given a weapon and forced to kill his own family. This, according to Koni, is the best proof of their faith.

Such detachments of minors are able to fight against the troops of the government, to protect the villages that Koni uses for his own purposes. As a reward, they receive alcohol and drugs.

The leader of the group and all his followers, including children, are wanted as the most dangerous people in the world. An official warrant for their arrest was issued back in 2005. But Koni is still on the loose...

Heriberto Lazcano

According to the American government, the most dangerous person in the world is Heriberto Lazcano. He is the head of a large drug cartel, Los Zetas, whose members operate in Mexico. In addition to the distribution of drugs in the international format, Lazcano is also involved in the sale of weapons and human trafficking.

Los Zetas is made up of ex-soldiers from the elite special forces of the Mexican army who deserted from it, members of the government and policemen whom Lazcano was able to bribe, as well as former soldiers who served in the Guatemalan army. Every year more than 100 Americans fall into the hands of Lezcano. The purpose of the latter is to obtain a ransom. Anyone who can catch the criminal is guaranteed a $5 million reward. For information about his whereabouts, the amount of the payment will be $ 2 million.

The history of the formation of Los Zetas

The Los Zetas group was created in the late 90s in order to eliminate members of other drug cartels that competed with Golfo. It is thanks to her that the latest formation has become the largest organization in Central America, a kind of monopoly. One of those recruited for this job was 17-year-old Lazcano. Gradually, "Los Zetas" expanded its powers: in addition to eliminating objectionable "Golfo" competitors, its members began to collect debts, as well as to ensure the supply of drugs to the country.

In 2010, a real war broke out between Golfo and Los Zetas, the cause of which was the murder of one of the latter's commanders. The conflict was opposed by the most dangerous people in the world, who devastated many cities in their zone of interest. Those who did not have time to evacuate from the combat zone were simply destroyed.

Christopher Cox

The most dangerous man, whose influence extends from Jamaica to Canada, is the leader of the "Douche Posse" gang, Christopher Cox, nicknamed Dudus. The main sources of income for members of this gang are weapons, drugs and human trafficking.

Ten years ago, hundreds of small gangs were operating in Jamaica, which demanded money from all entrepreneurs in the country, regardless of their income level. After the appearance of one, but a large grouping "Dush Posse", the situation in the country has changed dramatically. All criminal structures began to obey Cox, who personally killed the former leaders. In addition, everyone who could avenge the victims of Dudus was physically eliminated. We are talking about relatives, wives and children of those killed. Thus, in order to achieve his goals, Cox destroyed thousands of people.

"People's Love"

Since 2009, the US government has repeatedly requested the extradition of Cox from Jamaica to the US. He was accused of drug trafficking on an especially large scale. However, the Jamaican authorities categorically refused to extradite the criminal.

Despite the cruelty of the drug lord and his status (the most dangerous man in the world), the people of Jamaica came to his defense when, in 2010, a warrant was issued for his arrest. A detachment of American special forces arrived in the country to capture him. Residents of the capital surrounded the police and did not let them out until Cox was able to successfully get out of the city and hide in an unknown direction. The number of victims in this confrontation reached hundreds. Another 500 were badly wounded. A $3 million reward is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the leader of the Douche Posse.

Grim Slipper

This name is called a serial killer who has been preying on the fairer sex since 1985. The most dangerous man in Los Angeles kills one woman a year, while his victim can be both a 14-year-old girl and a 35-year-old lady. The handwriting of the killer can be traced quite clearly. Most of Slipper's victims are black girls of easy virtue, whom he first rapes and then kills with a single shot to the heart.

After the attack of a serial killer, one of his victims managed to stay alive. The girl was able to describe the maniac. This is a short black man in his 30s.

A new hunt for victims began in 2007, and in 2010 the police announced the arrest of a bloody killer. He was charged with the murder of ten women and the attempted murder of one. However, after the process was completed and the alleged killer was imprisoned, the body of another woman was discovered, under whose nails were found pieces of skin that belonged to Grim Slipper. Justice failed again...

Despite the fact that the name of the maniac is still unknown, he is classified as "The most dangerous people in the world." There is also no photo of the perpetrator that could be called reliable.

Mexican "Chikatilo"

Mexico is not the safest country to travel, because many of the most dangerous people in the world have a Mexican residence permit. In the city of Ciudad Juarez, such a person, or a group of people, is operating. The police have not yet been able to find out. However, the exact number of their victims also causes difficulty for law enforcement officers. According to one report, the maniac kidnapped, raped and killed 2666 women. According to unofficial information, the number of victims was more than twice.

Hundreds of mutilated bodies are found every year in the desert near which the city is located. Many of them died from blood loss, cold or cardiac arrest. However, the nature of the wounds inflicted suggests that they were all killed by the same person.

Dawood Ibrahim

As practice shows, it is the criminal syndicates that educate criminals, who are subsequently called only "the most dangerous people on the planet." Their list has long included the head of the huge D-Company crime syndicate, Dawood Ibrahim. It is this person who controls all areas of criminal activity in India, Pakistan and the UAE. His interests extend to all possible activities of this kind - from contract killings and human trafficking to the sale of drugs and the control of prostitution. Ibrahim's syndicate has direct links to al-Qaeda and its affiliates.

According to the FBI, Ibrahim is covered by local Pakistani intelligence services, although the country's government hastened to call such information absurd. However, the same was said about Osama bin Laden, who is known as the most dangerous man of the past.

Joaquin Guzman

It is quite difficult to determine the first place in the ranking of "The Most Dangerous People on the Planet", because a large number of criminals claim this title. This list also includes Joaquin Guzman, a Mexican drug lord and head of Sinoal, one of the largest drug cartels in the world. He was able to make billions in marijuana and cocaine trafficking, which made him one of the richest people on the planet. The only thing known about Guzmán's whereabouts is that he lives somewhere in the northwestern regions of Mexico. The reward for the capture of this dangerous criminal is $5 million.

Since 2008, the US FBI has annually compiled a list of the world's most dangerous criminals. These are people who have committed serious crimes in the past and pose a certain danger to society. For providing information about the whereabouts of international villains, the American Bureau of Investigation is ready to pay a decent monetary reward. However, it is not so easy to get it, because "terrible" violators of law and order are not easy to find. But every person should know who the most dangerous criminal in the world is and why the FBI, CIA and other secret structures are looking for him.

Fugitive Russian criminals often hide in the CIS

Employees of the Main Directorate of Criminal Investigation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia say that most of the fugitive offenders are hiding in the CIS. They are trying to legalize themselves there, using fake documents. But only a few are sent to far-abroad countries, because there are certain difficulties both with paperwork and with finances. Every year, the US FBI updates the list of "The World's Most Dangerous Criminals". Photos of international villains are published in the media. The list of the most dangerous Russian criminals is also being updated. But the reward for helping to find them appeared in Russia recently.
