(VOVworld) - European police forces Friday launched a “most wanted” website of 45 notorious criminal suspects, including Belgian-born Salah Abdeslam, a key suspect in last year’s Paris attacks.

Europol said the website www.eumostwanted.com is available in 17 languages, sharing information on high-profile internationally wanted criminals, convicted of – or suspected of having committed – serious crimes or terrorist acts in Europe. On the new website a picture of each of the suspects is prominently displayed, along with a description of the allegations against them and a phone number of the police force hunting for them. People are encouraged to provide tip-offs – anonymously if they want – at the website. Europol said the website aimed “at increasing security” across the European Union by having the public “help police trace Europe’s most wanted fugitives”.
