He is currently on the wanted list of Interpol for Cheating, Criminal Conspiracy and Organised Crime Syndicated.He was No. 3 on the Forbes' World's Top 10 most dreaded criminals list of 2011, rising from the 4th position in 2008. Indian court has recently issued a warrant on Dawood Ibrahim for sport fixing crime in the Indian Premier League. Dawood Ibrahim is accused of heading a vast and sprawling illegal empire in and against India and Indians. After the 1993 Mumbai bombings, which Ibrahim allegedly organised and financed, he became India's most wanted man.According to the United States, Ibrahim maintained close links with al-Qaeda and Osama Bin Laden. As a consequence, the United States declared Dawood Ibrahim a "global terrorist" in 2003 and pursued the matter before the United Nations in an attempt to freeze his assets around the world and crack down on his operations. The Bush administration imposed several sanctions on Ibrahim and his associates. Indian and Russian intelligence agencies have pointed out Ibrahim's possible involvement in several other terror attacks, including the 2008 Mumbai attacks, as per Interpol. He was believed to be living in the Pakistan long time under the protection of Pakistan's intelligence service ISI and then in United Arab Emirates. Currently he has been shifted to Pakistan-Afghanistan border. Sources added that "Inter-Services Intelligence appeared extremely wary of the new Indo-US cooperation to fight terrorism. The Inter-Services Intelligence and Dawood appear under a lot of pressure" In 2005, Dawood Ibrahim's daughter, Mahrukh Ibrahim, was married to Junaid Miandad the son of Pakistani cricketer Javed Miandad and the wedding was attended by top ISI personnel. In 2011, his daughter Mehreen, 24, got married to Ayub, a Pakistani-American. The marriage was attended by Pakistan army, the ISI top brass and businessmen. In spite of these public weddings and close connection of Pakistan Army and ISI to Dawood, Pakistan still claims he is not in Pakistan.
