US Confirms Capture in Venezuela of Final FBI Top Ten Fugitive

US officials confirmed that Anibal Canelon Aguirre, previously listed among the FBI's ten most wanted fugitives, has been captured in Venezuela, according to a report by Anadolu Agency.

The report identified Aguirre as the final fugitive to be apprehended from the bureau's top ten list, though it did not provide further details on the circumstances of his capture, the charges against him, or the timeline of the operation.

The FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list is a long-running program used by the bureau to publicize individuals sought in connection with serious crimes and to solicit public assistance in locating them. Being removed from the list typically occurs following an arrest, death, or in rare cases a change in status of the case.

Anadolu Agency's report did not specify additional information regarding Aguirre's background, the nature of the charges he faces, or whether authorities plan to seek his extradition to the United States. Further details on the case were not immediately available.

Neither the FBI nor Venezuelan authorities provided additional public statements beyond the confirmation of the capture at the time of the report.
