He is described as white, 5ft 7ins, slim, with short, cropped light-brown hair.

He also has a large tattoo on his right arm of a Koi Carp and a dragon.  

Det Sgt Maria Isom said: “We are continuing to seek information from the public which could help us to trace Salisbury.

“We have made continued efforts to trace him since we spoke to him on the phone on May 18, 2021.

"It is believed he could now be abroad, possibly in Spain, and I’d like to appeal to anyone in the UK or abroad with knowledge of his whereabouts to contact police.

“If you see him please do not approach him and instead call your local police force on 101.”

Daniel Dugic is suspected of being involved in a plot to import 255 kilos of cocaine into the country.

The offence is said to have taken place in 2011.

The conspiracy involved a small UK vessel meeting a commercial container ship in the English Channel from which the drugs were transferred.  

Although Dugic was not on board either vessel, he is alleged to have played a major part in organising the importation. 

A number of other individuals were convicted of the crime but Dugic was never brought to justice. 

Originally from Serbia, it is thought that Dugic could be in London.

Christakis Philippou, aka Christakis Chrysostomou, is alleged to have been involved in a travel fraud scheme.

Between 2004 and 2006 he and co-defendants are said to have repeatedly set out to acquire, or sometimes to set up from scratch, travel agency businesses that were used as vehicles for fraud.  

The travel agencies attracted customers by offering cut-price holidays.  

The prices were so low that legitimate companies could not compete with them. In each case, the travel agency ceased to trade, leaving around 20,000 customers without a holiday.  

Philippou, who is believed to be in London, is described as being around 165cm tall, with grey, receding hair and tan skin.
