To adhere to the laws of the country in which one lives is the first duty of any conscientious citizen. Without this, any society will sooner or later slide into the state of not even a primitive tribe, but a wild flock, where only the right of the strong prevails.
Unfortunately, for those who are described in our article, there was no other law than their own desires. These bloodthirsty killers considered other people only two-legged prey and nothing else. This is what those who are deservedly called the most dangerous criminals in the world!
John Wayne Gacy known as "killer clown". Acting at children's parties as a cheerful, painted comedian, a smiling, mustachioed fat man got accustomed to the victims, whom he then lured into his house.
There, the unfortunate were raped for a long time, after which they were killed. Gacy did not disdain homosexual prostitutes, cracking down on them in the same way. In total, John's victims were at least 33 people.
Later, at the trial, it turned out that the criminal was irreparably crippled in childhood. An alcoholic father, his pedophile friend, peers who did not miss the chance to mock a weak and sickly child - all this led to the fact that a terrible maniac grew out of John. The verdict, however, remained unchanged. Gacy was on death row.
Grady Franklin Stiles always called a monster. From the first days of his life, he was diagnosed with ectrodactyly, a malformation in which the hands and feet turn into a terrible kind of claws.
In those days, for a person who was unable to walk, but very strong "lobster man" there was only one way. Grady turned his illness into dignity and became a circus star.
At home, however, the funny favorite of the public turned into a terrible tyrant. The alcoholic beat his relatives mercilessly, and later, convinced of his own impunity, he even shot his daughter's husband, whom he had disliked for a long time.
The most interesting thing is that the authorities did not dare to put Grady in jail. Desperate households finished off the raging villain on their own - they killed him until he killed them.
30-year-old Jason Barnum was called "Terminator" and "Eyeball". He ended up in the dock because he shot a policeman in cold blood. However, the 22-year term did not upset the killer. " I still have no place in the free world Jason commented on the verdict.
A robber, drug addict and murderer, Barnum refused to repent of his deed. Judging that with such tattoos he would still disappear, Jason believes that even notoriety is better than complete obscurity.
Now at least the perpetrator is famous. However, he will not see freedom for a very long time.
The press called Jack Unterweger"The Viennese Strangler", and some journalists even gave him the nickname "Jack the Poet" by analogy with the world-famous Jack the Ripper. Imagine how horrified the public was when it turned out that the famous writer, for whose release thousands of people once stood up, turned out to be a ruthless hunter of prostitutes!
Unterweger strangled his first victim, a waitress he met in a bar, with her own bra. He was arrested very quickly and imprisoned for 15 years. In prison, Jack wrote an autobiographical book, thanks to which he became rich and famous. Later, the man was even called an exemplary re-educated prisoner.
But immediately after his release, he began to kill again! When the new crimes of the scoundrel were revealed, Jack was arrested. But he decided not to bring the case to court and hanged himself in his own cell.
Mary Mallon, also called "Typhoid Mary", was the first healthy carrier of the typhoid virus to be documented in the United States. Everything would be fine, but the woman worked as a cook, and categorically refused to give up her profession. All her life, Mary firmly believed that she was absolutely healthy, and the doctors were chasing her solely out of envy and anger.
In the end, it was established that thanks to Mallon's "services", at least 47 people were infected with typhus, three of whom subsequently died. Even in the hospital, where she was eventually sent to a life-long quarantine, “Typhoid Mary” flatly refused to be treated for her illness. Today, her nickname has become a household name.
Dennis Rader for a long time passed in the documents of the police as the "killer of BTK". Between 1974 and 1991, he killed at least 10 people. And the whole family became the first victims of the maniac.
Having cut the telephone wires in advance, the killer entered the house, strangled the spouses with a rope from the curtains, their 9-year-old son with a plastic bag, and simply hung their 11-year-old daughter.
With each murder, the maniac sent letters to the newspaper in verse. He even sent a retraction to reporters when some teenagers decided to snatch fame by taking the blame. The police were unable to solve the crimes of Rader, and he was arrested only in 2005, when the man himself confessed to everything through another letter.
People were horrified that the exemplary father of the family, a believing Lutheran, suddenly turned out to be a ruthless killer. I will note right away that Dennis did not feel any remorse, he was always worried about only fame.
Experts call the photographer a maniac Rodney Alkalu almost the worst killer in US history. The charm and wit of a cold-blooded scoundrel allowed him to avoid punishment for decades. Thanks to the right hanging tongue and professional skills, Rodney easily rubbed himself into the confidence of thousands of girls.
For 8 years, Alcala killed more than a hundred people. Fortunately, in the end, the court exposed the machinations of the attacker. Now a killer with a camera will never come out from behind bars!
The video below tells about several more terrible criminals who are not inferior in cruelty and bloodthirstiness to the maniacs described above. It is difficult to even call such creatures people! Learning about their atrocities, it seems that these killers are just beasts, perfectly able to disguise themselves as law-abiding citizens.
Well, at least justice finally prevailed, and each of the aforementioned scoundrels was punished fairly. Some, however, argue that before the cruelty of the most terrible juvenile delinquents of the world, even the atrocities of the "heroes" of our selection fade...
Lone criminals
According to statistics, the most dangerous lone criminals are sexual maniacs. They are rightfully considered the most cautious, cunning and resourceful of all types of assassins. Their mental disorders (which, no doubt, all sexual maniacs suffer) give them desperation and deceit, unthinkable for people with a healthy psyche.
Monster of the century
According to the Guinness Book of Records, the "monster of the century" is Pedro Alonso Lopez who was born in 1949. By his own admission, he killed about 300 young girls (under 10 years old) in Peru, Ecuador and Colombia. Only 53 bodies were found by the police.
Jack the Ripper
In the second half of 1888, five prostitutes were murdered with brutal cruelty in London. 72 suspects from different walks of life went through the criminal case - even several members of the royal family. But all the efforts of the police were in vain - they could not catch the killer, and his identity was never established. Jack the Ripper- this name was signed in a letter received by the Central News Agency, in which the killer (if the letter was really written by him) confessed to the murder of two women.
German maniac Bruno
The third in the world according to the Guinness Book of Records and the worst killer in Europe of the twentieth century is considered a German maniac Bruno Ludke. From 1927 to 1943, he committed the murders of 85 women. Once he was detained for attempted rape, and he was castrated, but even after that he continued to kill. Ludke was executed in Vienna on April 8, 1944.
Fighters for the idea
Next on the list of the worst criminals of the 20th century are terrorists who call themselves "fighters for an idea." The most dangerous among them is considered a terrorist Abu Nidal. He is responsible for the 1985 Rome and Vienna airport bombings.
Deranged (supposedly sexually driven) Korean police officer Wow bom con from the province of Gyeongsam Namdo in April 1982, killed 57 people in two days.
Among women, the most brutal killer of the twentieth century is considered an Englishwoman Judith Minna Wadd. On account of her 12 murders, for which she was sentenced to death in November 1974.
Not all people live right, trying to follow the honest path. Sometimes they go into completely different wilds, the wilds of the underworld.
Unfortunately, this happens more often than we would like. And therefore rampant crime reigns all over the world, it's just that somewhere it is more pronounced, somewhere less bright, but there is no getting away from it.
Everyone's reasons for breaking the law are fundamentally different. But none of them can justify what people can sometimes do.
And we are not talking about petty relatively harmless thieves and crooks. We are talking about criminals of an international scale, whose crimes sometimes cause awe, and sometimes simply disgust and nothing more. This is a negative example of how to live, but, alas, there are surprisingly many such examples lately.
But some stand out in particular. So let's get acquainted with what are the most dangerous and wanted criminals in the world, although, frankly, it's too great an honor to pay so much attention to such people. We should not make bad people too famous and then perhaps the world will become a little better and relatively safer.
10. Doku Umarov
Location: Chechnya
He has been an international terrorist since 2010, the leader of the terrorist movement of Islamic separatists. He stated that a number of major terrorist attacks in Russia, such as explosions in the Moscow metro and so on, were carried out on his direct order.
Since 2000, there have been regular reports of his death, but more or less reliable information that he was eliminated came only in 2014 - although many doubt this.
9. Joseph Kony
Location: Uganda
The leader of the so-called Lord's Resistance Army, who actively sought to establish a theocratic state in Uganda, which would be entirely based on the Bible and its precepts. Rebelled against the government back in 1987. Had 88 wives. Currently, he is actively hiding from justice, although he has long been recognized as a war criminal and there is a valid warrant for his arrest - so far it has not been possible to find him.
8. Felicien Kabuga
Location: Rwanda
This man did not directly kill anyone, but indirectly became the culprit of the most terrible genocide. After the death of the country's president in 1994, he announced that it was necessary to crack down on the Tutsis, who were the true culprits in the death of the president. A real wave of murders, rapes and robberies swept across the country. In total, more than a hundred thousand people died. But the government of the country, nevertheless, refused to arrest him, although other countries are looking for leads that would allow this to be done.
7. Alimzhan Tursunovich Tokhtakhunov
Location: Russia
One of the largest authorities in all of Russia. He was the owner of the largest Russian casinos, which, however, were then closed. In 2002, he first became infamous because of the situation with gold medals at the Olympics, after which he was accused of fraud. But the matter was far from over. His other activities, however, were not overly publicized, but he is still on the Interpol detective lists to this day.
6. Matteo Messina Denaro
Location: Italy
The Sicilian mafia is not only an image that is glorified in numerous feature films, it really exists, which this person once again confirms by his example. He became one of the new leaders of Cosa Nostra, and committed his first murder at the age of 18. It is believed that he only personally killed at least fifty people. But since 1993, he has been quite successfully hiding from the police and has not yet been caught.
5. Nasir al-Wuhaishi
Location: Yemen
The leader of one of the branches of al-Qaeda is a big enough title to be on such a list. Especially if the Yemeni branch. As it was believed, he used to be the secretary of Osama bin Laden, and after his death, he initially headed the African division of the terrorist group. There is not much information on this person, but his influence is enough for him to be actively searched for by special services around the world.
4. Semyon Yudkovich Mogilevich
Location: Russia, Hungary, Israel
A true citizen of the world - he has as many as three citizenships, but he was still born in Kiev. Wanted since 1995. He is one of the largest leaders of the Jewish mafia in the world, as well as the leader of the Solntsevo group. At the moment, he is not officially wanted, because there is nothing to catch him, but for information that will lead to his capture, an impressive reward of one hundred thousand dollars from the FBI is promised - he is so dangerous.
3. Daoud Ibrahim
Location: India
Leader of the D-Company crime syndicate in Mumbai. It is generally accepted that he had very close ties to Osama bin Laden. After the bombing in Mumbai, which happened in 1993, he officially became the most wanted person in the whole country, and then this "glory" became international. According to the intelligence services, at the moment he lives in the United Arab Emirates, but this has yet to be proven or disproved.
2. Ayman al-Zawahiri
Location: Egypt
Al-Qaeda's second leader on our list, this time even bigger and more powerful. Runs her Egyptian division, took this position immediately after the assassination of Osama bin Laden. But in general, he is still wanted after the September 11, 2001 attacks, after which he was called the second person in all of Al-Qaeda - and this is only confirmed with the passage of time. But, it is believed that his influence is still less than that of bin Laden.
1. Joaquin Guzman Loera
Location: Mexico
Perhaps the best way to be on the first line of such a rating is to become a drug lord with a worldwide reputation. The biggest figure in the world of the drug mafia, he is wanted for a bounty equal to five million dollars, one of the largest bounties that have ever been given for the capture of criminals. However, now this information is a bit out of date - he was nevertheless detained in February 2014. But does this mean that his influence has fallen and that he will definitely be condemned? Not yet known.
The vast majority of people are fond of secrets, intrigues, riddles, including detective ones. Reading a detective story or intensely watching the development of the action on the screen, we involuntarily catch ourselves thinking that we know for sure that the criminal will be captured and justice will prevail. Maybe detectives are a kind of fairy tale for adults. It's so nice to know that good always triumphs over evil. All good people will be rewarded and bad people will be punished. We all fully agree with Gleb Zheglov from the cult series "The meeting place cannot be changed": "A thief must be in prison." And also a robber, a murderer, a rapist and, of course, a terrorist.
Unfortunately, life is far from being so smooth. Very often, criminals roam free or are wanted for many years. For example, we all know the sad example of Osama bin Laden. For his capture, the highest award in the world was appointed - $25 million. All over the world he was known as the number one terrorist. The leader of an Islamic terrorist organization, who initiated terrible terrorist attacks that claimed many hundreds of lives, fortunately, is no longer afraid of us. On May 2, 2011, he was destroyed in Pakistan by American special forces soldiers. But other haters of humanity took his place. The list of wanted criminals is constantly updated: you can find international terrorists, rapists and pedophiles, drug dealers and scammers in it ... They are wanted by Interpol, the FBI, the CIA, the FSB and everything so that people can live in peace. The most famous criminals in the world:
An ordinary school teacher took the place of bin Laden. He loved his students, but he loved them too much. The FBI accuses him of making, storing and distributing child pornography. Eric knew computer skills quite well, skillfully covered his tracks, but one day he made a mistake: he did not erase a film of his own making from a regular school video camera.
For a long time he tried to hide, but last year he was arrested in Nicaragua. By the way, in his first arrest, he managed to escape from custody. We hope that law enforcement officers, taught by bitter experience, will be more attentive and the offender will suffer a well-deserved punishment. All over the world, calling for war and inciting ethnic hatred is considered a terrible crime, for which serious punishment is provided. It happens that the criminal does not personally kill anyone, but because of his illegal actions, the blood of thousands of innocent people will be shed.
This oligarch from Rwanda fanned a real genocide in his country. In 1994, a terrible tragedy occurred in Rwanda: as a result of a plane crash, their president died. After that, Kabuga appealed to the population of the country with an appeal: the Hutu tribe should completely destroy the Tutsi tribe, who are their primordial enemies. Kabuga unfoundedly accused representatives of the Tutsi tribe of plotting and physically destroying the country's leader. After that, a bloody civil war swept through the country. More than 100,000 people found their death in it, many were maimed, raped, robbed, left homeless. Orphans roamed the country, subjected to violence and humiliation ...
The UN and the international tribunal demanded that the instigators of this war be brought to trial, one of the first to be brought to trial by Kabug. Even today the FSB is promising 5 million dollars just for information about the whereabouts of this criminal. But the Rwandan government believes that a person with such a condition cannot be convicted, which is why the perpetrator is at large.
The doctor and Muslim theologian was second only to Bin Laden in the infamous al-Qaeda organization around the world. After the death of the leader, he took his place. Even in his youth, in his native Egypt, Ayman founded the extremist organization Islamic Jihad. He was suspected for a long time, but could not prove his involvement in the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. After that, Ayman left the country, first joined the Afghan Mujahideen, and then joined Al-Qaeda and gradually became one of its leaders. In Egypt, he was sentenced to death in absentia, and the FSB promises 25 million dollars for his head, but so far without success.
This man is the most famous drug dealer in the world. According to Forbes magazine, he is one of the richest people in the world. Also according to this magazine, he is the most wanted criminal in the world.
Loera, known in Mexico under the nickname "Shorty", has long been a billionaire. Leads the world's largest drug cartel, Sinaloa. Delivers Colombian cocaine to the United States, produces methamphetamine, marijuana and pure heroin. The FBI is ready to pay for the capture of Loera 5 million dollars, and the government of Mexico 30 million pesos. But, probably, the criminal pays even more for his protection, and so far one can only dream of his capture.
He is the most wanted criminal in India, but in his activities he has long crossed the borders of this country. He chose the drug trade and the preparation of contract killings of major political figures from around the world as the main areas of his activity. According to the UN Security Committee, it was Kaskar who provided constant support to al-Qaeda, financed terrorist attacks in the United States, smuggled weapons and provided all kinds of assistance and support to Bin Laden.
According to some reports, this criminal is believed to be hiding in Pakistan, although the Pakistani authorities strongly deny this. For a good ten years, Cascar has been wanted by Interpol, but so far to no avail.
His other name is Sergey Schneider, a citizen of Russia, known to the widest public in connection with the high-profile Arbat Prestige case. In 2008, Mogilevich and Vladimir Nekrasov, co-owners of the Arbat Prestige network of expensive perfume shops and factories, were detained in the Russian capital and accused of tax evasion in the amount of almost 50 million rubles. Subsequently, both defendants were released on a large bail, and then a year later the case against them was dropped. In 2013, the FBI charged Mogilevich in absentia with fraud and money laundering, but so far the criminal is at large and where exactly he is hiding, the authorities do not know.
Tokhtakhunov, a native of sultry Uzbekistan, known by the nickname Taiwanchik, is accused of drug trafficking and arms smuggling in the United States. In addition, he organized a gang to steal and sell expensive cars.
In 2003, in Italy, the police were able to arrest a criminal. The US tried to extradite him. But the FBI's request was rejected, and Tokhtakhunov was released, where he remains to this day.
The leader of the militants of the North Caucasus, the third Russian who received the dubious honor of being included in the list of the most wanted criminals in the world. Domodedovo. For his capture, the US authorities have appointed a reward - 5 million dollars.Not so long ago there was information about his death, but many doubt it.
It is surprising that with such large awards assigned by the governments of different countries, the criminals are still at large and doing their dirty work. Maybe it’s worth thinking about the fact that the capture of a criminal is not only a matter for the authorities and law enforcement agencies, but absolutely all people should be vitally interested in this.
