A look at the most dangereous faces of crime.

Since Forbes' Most Wanted Fugitives list first appeared in April 2008, not a single one of the criminals has been brought to book. This year's list features Osama bin Laden at the top for the second time. Dawood Ibrahim, India's most wanted man suspected of having organized the 1993 Mumbai bombings, figures third on the list.

1.

OSAMA BIN LADEN

The most wanted man in the world has evaded capture for the last eight years. The man believed to be behind the horrific September 11, 2001 attacks is said to be hiding in Pakistan's tribal areas, but US Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said in recent months that the US does not have good intelligence on Bin Laden's whereabouts and it might be years before he is caught. US State Department is still offering $25 million for information leading to his capture.

2.

JOAQUIN GUZMAN
He is the world's most notorious drug trafficker and he continues to grow stronger and more powerful. Known as el Chapo, or Shorty, Guzman heads Mexico's Sinaloa cartel and over the last two years he has extended his control over corridors in Mexico used to smuggle cocaine and marijuana into the US.

3.

DAWOOD IBRAHIM

The most wanted man in India, Ibrahim is suspected of having organized the 1993 Bombay bombings that killed hundreds of people. Leading a 5,000-member criminal syndicate, D-Company, he has engaged in everything from narcotics to contract killing. According to the US government, Ibrahim collaborated with both Al-Qaida and Lashkar-e-Taiba, which pulled off the November 2008 Mumbai attacks, possibly with Ibrahim's help.

4.

SEMION MOGILEVICH
The face of Russian organized crime was briefly arrested in 2008 in Russia and hence was excluded from Forbes' first Most Wanted list. However, he was released in 2009 after his lawyers said Mogilevich was innocent of the tax charges.

5.

MATTEO MESSINA DENARO

The Italian mafia remains the most famous organized criminal group, and Matteo Messina Denaro has taken control of it. Denaro, nicknamed "Diabolic," appeared on the first Forbes Most Wanted list two years ago when he was only emerging as a leader of the Italian mafia, one of the most famous organised criminal group.
The Italian mafia's playboy, Denaro is known for living a fast lifestyle, driving Porches and fancying Rolex watches.
