The new gallery of photographs has been revealed by HMRC
Tax officials have updated a gallery of photographs of the people it considers to be the UK's most wanted tax fugitives with 10 more faces.
It was published for the first time a year ago, detailing 20 people wanted by HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC).
One has been caught since, and another added to the gallery later has also been apprehended.
Now, 10 more have been added. HMRC said they were responsible for crimes that cost taxpayers millions of pounds.
The new set includes people being pursued for VAT fraud, tax evasion, and money laundering.
The original gallery included a picture of John Nugent, who is greyed out in this image
In May, one man on the original list - John Nugent, who was 53 at the time - was caught in the US after the authorities there carried out checks on their systems and found he had overstayed on a tourist visa. In May, he was sentenced to four and a half years in prison.
The next mugshot to be added to the gallery was Anthony Edward Judge, who HMRC said was wanted for his role in more than £250,000 of tax fraud and had been on the run for 10 years after failing to appear at Canterbury Crown Court.
He was detained at Heathrow Airport in July when travelling on a false passport, HMRC said, and has since pleaded guilty to money laundering.
The new pictures, including two women, are being published on the HMRC's flickr channel.
They include one man, wanted for evasion of excise duty, who was involved in a car chase in the Irish Republic. A number of the group could be in the UK, the tax authority said.
HMRC is searching for these people, who have all been identified, and has appealed for help by asking people to contact Crimestoppers. They hope that the public will have information that helps the search.
"Tax fraud and evasion are illegal and will not be tolerated," said Chancellor George Osborne.
"Millions of hard-working people pay their taxes and it is they who are being defrauded. The government has stepped up HMRC's enforcement activities to enable them to pursue tax cheats relentlessly around the world."
