British expats have been urged to help as investigators launched the latest hunt for criminals on the run in Spain, among them a "high-risk" paedophile, a drug trafficker and several alleged murderers.
Lord Ashcroft, founder of Crimestoppers, said: "A small number of suspected criminals see Spain as a safe place to evade law enforcement but, thanks to the confidence the UK, Spanish and expat communities have in Crimestoppers, these individuals will not be able to escape justice for much longer."
Soca and Crimestoppers are appealing for help finding 10 suspects. The first, Dominic Stephen Powell, 48, from Coventry is a high-risk sex offender, wanted in relation to a string of allegations of child abuse attacks and making indecent images. Powell, who has been jailed in the past for paedophile offences, is wanted by South Wales Police.
