Dawood Ibrahim (/ɪbrəˈhiːm/ ⓘ; born 26 December 1955) is an Indian mob boss, drug lord,[1] and terrorist.[2][3] He reportedly heads the Indian organised crime syndicate D-Company, which he founded in Mumbai in the 1970s.[4][5][6][7] Ibrahim is wanted on charges including murder, extortion, targeted killing, drug trafficking, and terrorism.

He was designated a global terrorist by India and the United States in 2003, with a reward of US$25 million on his head for his suspected role in the 1993 Bombay bombings.[8][9] In 2011, he was named number two on "The World's 10 Most Wanted Fugitives" by the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation[10] and fourth on Forbes'.[11] In 2020, the Pakistani government listed Dawood and 87 others in its sanction list in order to avoid FATF sanctions.[12] He has been reported to live in Karachi, Pakistan, though the government of Pakistan denies it.[13]
