The Nationale Opsporingslijst (English: National Detectionlist) is a Dutch most wanted list maintained by the Korps landelijke politiediensten. Individuals on the list can either be suspects, or irrevocably convicted, of certain crimes. Individuals generally are removed from the list only in the event of capture, death, or the withdrawal of the charges. A television program that likes to solve crimes, Opsporing Verzocht, normally publicizes fugitives newly added. Beyond the two criteria applied to both categories — that the criminal act bears a possible punishment of eight years in prison or longer, and that the success of other avenues of capture is deemed problematic — the Dutch Public Prosecution Service (Dutch:Openbaar Ministerie) has set criteria for placement of a suspect on the Nationale Opsporingslijst that are far more strict than for those of a convict.
