Europol says women “equally capable of crime” as men as it reveals most-wanted list

The wanted suspects face a range of charges including murder, and human and drug trafficking

Newsroom October 21 10:08

Europol has revealed the names of Europe’s most-wanted fugitives – and 18 of the 21 criminals on the list are women, warning they are “equally capable” of committing serious crimes as men.

Called the “Crime has no gender” campaign, Europe’s policing agency on Friday rolled out a new campaign to catch the continent’s most wanted female criminals.

The wanted suspects face a range of charges including murder, and human and drug trafficking.
