Interpol says seeking 123 suspected traffickers

AFP, LYON: Interpol said on Thursday it is seeking public help to track down 123 suspected human traffickers wanted around the world.
The largest international police organisation put out the public appeal from its base in Lyon, France, in a bid to bring the remaining fugitives to justice.
“People smuggling is a global issue which is why international cooperation through operations such as Hydra are essential,” said Interpol’s director of Operational Support Michael O’Connell in a statement announcing the programme’s launch.
The operation, known as Infra Hydra, involves 44 countries as well as the EU police agency Europol, and has already made 26 arrests and located 31 other suspects, Interpol said.
Interpol identified 11 targets on its most sought-after list and is focusing on a total of 180 fugitives wanted by 31 countries.
