List of most wanted fugitives in Italy

The list of most wanted fugitives in Italy is published by the Italian Interior Minister and includes thirty criminals who are considered extremely dangerous by the Polizia di Stato. The list was started in 1992. There is also a list of 500 most wanted fugitives of lesser importance. When a fugitive is caught, it is soon removed from the list and replaced by another individual.
