Narcotics Rewards Program: Brought to Justice
The State Department publishes this directory of past Narcotics Rewards Program targets. It contains 101 entries, including two entries about a case or an organisation rather than an individual. These are historical outcomes, not a list of people currently wanted.

How the program works
The Secretary of State can offer rewards for information that helps lead to the arrest or conviction of major narcotics traffickers operating mainly outside the U.S. The supplied program overview describes offers of up to $25 million; individual historical notices may show different amounts.
Reported results
In its program overview, the Department says information from the public has helped bring more than 75 major foreign violators of U.S. narcotics laws to justice, with more than $135 million paid in rewards. The directory below is a separate listing of 101 entries.
Where information goes
Follow the instructions on a current official reward poster. Outside the U.S., the Department also directs people to their nearest U.S. embassy or consulate; inside the U.S., contact the relevant DEA, FBI or ICE office. Government employees are not eligible for program rewards. Do not send tips to Crime Watch Global in place of an official agency.

A listing date is not necessarily an arrest date. A displayed reward is a former advertised maximum, not a current offer or payment.
