October 26, 1975 - Umar Farooq Zahoor
A businessman who built a career straddling legitimate corporate roles and serious financial criminality, Zahoor has remained beyond the reach of Norwegian authorities for well over a decade. His combination of international mobility, executive-level access, and alleged crime connections made him a difficult figure to prosecute and a persistent subject of investigative interest across multiple jurisdictions.
