Dawood Ibrahim moves to 4th place on Forbes MOST-WANTED List

New Delhi: India’s most wanted and Pakistan’s guest for years, Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar, seems to be nudging his way up on the list of infamy.
He is ranked the “third most wanted fugitive in the world”, as per the latest list of such people released by US magazine Forbes. In the previous and the first edition of the list in 2008, Dawood had been placed fourth.

This time he has replaced Alimzhan Tokhtakhounov. The latter is a major figure in international Eurasian organised crime whose involvement has been found in cases ranging from “drug distribution, arms sale to trafficking in stolen vehicles”.
Tokhtakhounov is “suspected of fixing everything from beauty pageants to Olympic events”. He has moved down to number six.
The top spot remains unchanged and is firmly held by Osama Bin Laden, followed by “world’s most notorious drug trafficker” Joaquin Guzman who “continues to become more powerful”. He heads Mexico’s Sinaloa cartel and “has a $5-million bounty on his head”.
Forbes says Dawood heads 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 UAE”.
Quoting the US government, Forbes further says: “Ibrahim shares smuggling routes with the al-Qaeda, the US government says, and has collaborated with both al-Qaeda and its South Asian affiliate, Lashkar-e-Taiba, which pulled off the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, possibly with Ibrahim’s help”.
“Though Pakistani government denies it, Ibrahim is probably in Pakistan, where he has important ties to the powerful intelligence service.” Forbes claims both Dawood and Matteo Messina Denaro, an Italian mafia leader nicknamed Diabolic, “appear to have consolidated control of their organisations”. Denaro’s position is unchanged at five.
One of the fugitives, who was ranked 7th in the last edition, is nomore on the list. “Pedro Antonio Marin, leader of the Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionaria Colombia or FARC, died of a heart attack.”
One international fugitive, Semion Mogilevich, placed number four, was not there on the list last time. “Two years ago, Semion Mogilevich, the face of Russia’s organised crime, was in a prison. Now he’s been released and is believed to be living in or around Moscow… The US has asked that he be handed over in connection with a $150 million stock fraud, but with no extradition treaty between the US and Russia, there seems little chance of it.”
