Dawood, Bin Laden figure in Forbes' Most Wanted list
Betwa Sharma
New York, May 17 (PTI) Underworld don and India's most
wanted fugitive Dawood Ibrahim, mastermind of the 1993 Mumbai
bombings, figures third on the Forbes' Most Wanted list which
has been topped by Al-Qaeda chief Osama Bin Laden.
The list, carried in the latest edition of the Forbes
magazine, also has Mexico's most powerful drug trafficker
Joaquin Guzman in no.2.
The magazine, which has been releasing a list of most
wanted fugitives for the past three years, pointed out that
Dawood, who is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, possibly had
a hand in aiding LeT execute the 2008 Mumbai attacks and also
shares smuggling routes with Al-Qaeda.
"Though the Pakistani government denies it, Ibrahim is
probably in Pakistan, where he has important ties to the
powerful intelligence service," it said.
The article described Dawood as "the most wanted man
in India" has for years led a 5,000-member criminal syndicate
known as D-Company.
"The organised crime group has engaged in everything
from narcotics to contract killing, working mostly in
Pakistan, India and the United Arab Emirates," the magazine
said.
Bin Laden and Guzman hold their top ranks from Forbes'
Most Wanted Fugitives list that first came out in 2008 but
Dawood, the most wanted man in India for his suspected role in
the 1993 Mumbai bombings that killed 257 people, has moved up
from the fourth spot to the third.
Hector Gonzalez, an FBI supervisory special agent,
told Forbes: "Many of these criminals are hiding behind
governments for protection."
The article pointed out that since the 2008 list was
published not a single one of the world's most notorious
criminals has been brought to justice
"The world has gotten smaller, and there has been
globalisation of everything, including crime," said Bradley
Bryant, the FBI's violent crimes unit chief.
"But the entire process of an international
investigation takes longer. It can be a frustrating process
and, sometimes, it is a lot slower than we would like it to
be." PTI BS
