Diosdado Cabello of Venezuela was named the world's most wanted terrorist with a $25 million bounty on February 23, 2026, at 12:16 AM UTC, following the death of El Mencho and capture of Nicolás Maduro, topping a new list that includes Dawood Ibrahim at $25 million and Vladimir Padrino López at $15 million, according to a post by Agus Antonetti on X. The updated list places Cabello first among global fugitives, with bounties reflecting U.S. designations, as stated in the X post from user @agusantonetti (https://x.com/agusantonetti/status/2025727754285498792) during the reporting window from 12:16 AM to 3:16 AM UTC. No official U.S. government confirmation appears in the sources for this 3-hour period, which references the sequence of events after El Mencho's death and Maduro's capture.
