The UK authorities have launched a fresh initiative to find some of Britain’s most wanted criminals, believed to be hiding in Cyprus.
11 men listed as fugitives from justice and wanted for crimes such as rape, fraud and drug smuggling are thought to be in Cyprus where there is a large British community, BBC online news reports.
In 2012 an operation was launched to find five of the men, alongside six new suspects.
Following operation Zygos in 2012, four men were arrested. The NCA and Crimestoppers hope the second campaign will be as successful.
The men are wanted for running a travel agency scam which defrauded 20,000 customers and an alleged horse racing betting and blood stocks fraud.
It is hoped the list will help to flush the suspects out of their hiding places
