UK's list of 'most wanted' fugitives in Spain to be released Coventry killer on list of 'most wanted' fugitives in Spain
(about 11 hours later)
Ten of Britain's most wanted fugitives believed to be on the run in Spain are set to be named later. A convicted killer is among 10 of Britain's most wanted fugitives believed to be on the run in Spain.
The list will be published in Madrid as part of Operation Captura, a hunt for UK criminals thought to be in Spain. The National Crime Agency (NCA) has released the names of the most wanted, whose crimes range from rape to child abuse and drug trafficking.
The National Crime Agency (NCA) has released one of the names of the most wanted, whose crimes range from rape to child abuse and drug trafficking. The list was published in Madrid as part of Operation Captura.
David McDermott, of Lancashire, is wanted for smuggling drugs with a value of £71m into the UK - hidden in beef. It includes ex-soldier Shane Walford who was jailed in 2010 for the manslaughter of an off-duty fireman while on leave from the army.
'Not a safe haven' Walford, a former boxer, killed father-of-two Paul Gibbons with a single punch outside a bar in Coventry.
The 41-year-old, who is originally from Ormskirk but lived in Liverpool, is being hunted on suspicion of conspiracy to supply cocaine and conspiracy to blackmail. He was jailed for four-and-a-half years but recalled to prison in August 2013 after breaking the terms of his licence.
He is believed to be a member of an organised crime gang involved in smuggling 16 holdalls containing cocaine hidden in a container of frozen beef from Argentina, at Tilbury Docks in Essex in 2013. He has numerous distinctive tattoos including a black panther on his left arm and boxing gloves on his abdomen.
After the cocaine was seized, NCA officers watched and listened as McDermott apparently met members of the gang at Aintree Retail Park. 'Not safe haven'
He was allegedly involved in planning a "violent mission" to recover the drugs, not knowing they had been seized, the NCA said. Also on the list is Mohammed Jahangir Alam, 32, who was sentenced to 14 years in his absence in March 2010 for rape and sexual assault.
Five members of the gang have already been jailed. Bangladeshi Alam arrived in the UK on a temporary visa in October 2007 and moved to Cheltenham the following year, where he sexually abused his victim, the NCA said.
The "most wanted" Captura list was launched by the NCA and Crimestoppers in 2006, and so far 65 out of 76 named suspects have been caught. His last known address was in the E3 area of London.
Hank Cole, the NCA's head of international operations, said: "Spain is not a safe haven for British fugitives. A third fugitive, 52-year-old Carlo Dawson, from Croydon, south London, is wanted on suspicion of indecently assaulting a 12-year-old girl and making indecent photographs of a child. He has a two-inch scar on his right palm.
"The exceptional level of collaboration and intelligence sharing with the Spanish authorities has been vital to these arrests. However, we still need the support of the public. Hank Cole, the NCA's head of international operations, said: "Spain is not a safe haven for British fugitives. The NCA and its partners will continue to pursue these individuals relentlessly and return them to the UK to face justice.
"Be our eyes and ears and tell us if you have any information on the whereabouts of our targets." Other fugitives

Police are also hunting:
Since the launch of Captura in 2006, 65 out of 76 named suspects have been caught. This is the ninth appeal of its kind.
One of the latest to be found in Tenerife was "drugs lord" Stephen Blundell, 36, from Merseyside, who fled the UK before being sentenced for a £1 million heroin plot, the NCA said.
