A Bulgarian national is included in the list of the ten most wanted fugitive criminal aliens in the US.
They have been listed at the web site of US Immigration and customs enforcement.
Recep Ahmedoff of Bulgaria, fourth in the list, is being sought on charges of manslaughter and criminal possession of a weapon.
The "worst of the worst," as ICE spokesman Marc Raimondi puts it, are posted on the agency's list of the 10 most-wanted fugitive immigrants, eight of whom are wanted in connection with sexual acts involving children and, in most cases, other offences.
Collectively, they represent a diverse geographic background. Four are from Mexico, the others are from China, India, Bulgaria, Jamaica and Portugal.
Of the 1.2 million illegal immigrants apprehended nationwide while entering the United States over the past year, fingerprint checks revealed that more than 26,000 were linked to major crimes, Border Patrol officials say.
Many of the fugitives had already been convicted and served time while others were being sought on outstanding charges. From Nov. 25 to Dec. 1, border patrol agents arrested eight illegal immigrants charged with homicide, said Mario Villarreal, Washington spokesman for US Customs and Border Protection, a branch of the Department of Homeland Security.
