INTERPOL has launched the Web's largest search campaign to locate hundreds of criminals of all kinds on the run for all the nations of the world. It has enlisted the help of Internet to collaborate on their hunt, part of the operation began on May 3 and called "Infra-Red".

Based in Lyon, the International Criminal Police appealed to cybernauts to provide data on 450 "fugitives hidden in 29 nations", accused of serious crimes like murder, child abuse, robbery and drug trafficking. The web address to send this information fugitive@interpol.int . Photographs and news searches can be imposed on the Interpol website . It 's also possible to transmit information, anonymously, to the site www.csiworld.org .

So far Interpol has already captured one hundred searches, as a former Colombian model, Angie Sanclemente Valencia, wanted for drug trafficking, or Mouamba Munanga, the Democratic Republic of Congo, has long sought for money laundering.

But in front of the impressive body of work to identify and capture the fugitives, Interpol has decided to speed up operations by resorting to information that could be provided by the citizens of 29 nations involved.

"There are individuals that do not have information date and above all we have no idea where they may be refugees - said Martin Cox, coordinator of the operation - why we asked the public to give us a hand. "

The organization has spread, in particular, photographs of 26 searches, using the social security sites or discussion forums on the Internet. "It 's possible that someone encounters one of these fugitives featured one of the many social networking sites or on discussion forums on the Internet, as could happen in the street," said Cox, who also asked web users to "immediately inform Interpol, whatever the manner in which they obtained this information. "

Interpol has designed this gigantic "man hunt" more than 650 agents, belonging to 82 different countries and who work 24 hours 24 under the control of the Secretariat General of crime. The information collected is analyzed by the office of Lyon and then transmitted through the Interpol central offices in each of the 188 countries members of the association that fights international crime.
