The 32-year-old stunner, who speaks Spanish and Swedish, is wanted in connection with drug offences and links to Stockholm mobsters.
A profile posted by Europol reveals the five foot, three inch suspect is wanted in her home nation as part of an ongoing probe into “illicit trafficking in narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances”.
Gomez has been on the run since March 2021 amid claims she’s part of an organised crime gang – delivering and transporting “large quantities of narcotics and money”.
An appeal for info that could help reveal her whereabouts includes claims she’s involved in crimes connected to “stray animals”.
It reads: “Gomez is wanted for severe drug related crimes and severe money laundering.
“She has also been involved in business regarding stray animals and probably involved in a network of irregular animal ownership and their transport abroad.”
She’s one of only two women named among Europe‘s most wanted fugitives, along with Slovakia Eva Zamecnikova who is accused of attempting to murder her husband.
The 43-year-old businesswoman was sentenced to eight years for plotting to kill her fella in January 2014 – offering 50,000 Euros as payment.
Details of her crime are published online alongside an appeal for info, reading: “However, the murder executor turned to the police and became a crown witness.
“The day of the murder was to be January 24, 2014.
“She planned to declare her husband missing after two years, and thus get the rest of their house.
“According to the crown witness, the reason why she wanted to get rid of her husband is also that she did not want to ‘feed her husband’.”
Their glam photos stick out like a sore thumb in a gallery of mostly male fugitives with many branded “dangerous” by the crime-fighting body.
They include Romanian hoodlum Adrian Cotos, 41, who was sentenced to ten years for dealing cocaine before he went on the run.
He too has been involved in dealing narcotics and is deemed to pose a threat to the public.
There is a reward of 5,000 Euros on offer for anyone who can supply The Criminal Intelligence Service of Austria with “legally obtained tips” leading to the arrest of crime kingpin Martin Schabel.
The 52-year-old’s last known whereabouts is Lignano, Italy, after he bolted from the Austria authorities in April 2021.

He’s wanted in connection with claims he sold large hauls of drugs on the dark web and is described as a “leading member” of a mob between March 2018 and September 2020.
A narcotics smuggler who carried out a plot similar to Scots drug kingpin Jamie ‘Iceman’ Stevenson is wanted for a racket involving fruit shipments.
Marco Ebben, 32, was up to his eyeballs in an illicit scheme that involved hiding 400 kilos of cocaine in pineapple cargos from Brazil to his native Netherlands.
It mirrored the plot that saw Stevenson, 59, jailed for 20 years at the High Court in Glasgow after admitting bringing in one tonne of cocaine in bananas from Ecuador and running a street valium factory.
Croatian fugitive Ivan Simetic, 35, is “considered violent” by his home nation’s cops who want to speak to him about two attempted murders on February 5, 2022.
His fellow-countryman Drmic Tomislav, 31, is also being hunted down in relation to an ongoing probe into crime gangs.
He is described as “armed and dangerous” and is suspected of being involved in drug trafficking and production as well as the possession and procurement of weapons and explosives.

Crimebusters in The Netherlands have offered a reward of 200,000 Euros for info that could help them snare a hoodlum known as ‘Bolle Jos’, or ‘Chubby Jos’.
His real name is Jos Leijdekkers and he was sentenced to 24 years in June this year for six drug transports totalling almost 7,000 kilos of cocaine and an armed robbery in Finland.
The brute is also wanted in connection with the horrific death of a woman known as Naima Jillal in October, 2019.
A 72-year-old murder suspect from Spain is wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of his own son in a Barcelona boozer 21 years ago.
A smiling image of Ramon De La Camara Guisado is included on Europol’s most wanted gallery with a sinister description of the alleged crime.

It reads: “In May 2003 the fugitive Ramon De La Camara Guisado was in a pub known as ”Gotik” in Sabadell, Barcelona, with his son David De La Camara Blanoc, 22 years-old.
“Suddenly Ramon pointed at his son with a 9mm handgun and shot him in the back of his head, causing him instant death.”
Other wanted criminals include Italian mobster Giovanni Motisi, 65, – nicknamed ‘Il Pacchione’ or ‘Fat Man’, on the run since 1998.
A Europol appeal states: “Motisi is wanted as a leading member of the Mafia-style criminal organisation called “Cosa Nostra” as well as for having been sentenced to life imprisonment for the crime of murder and massacre.
“In particular, he was recognised as the perpetrator of the murder of several members of the Italian police forces.
“And in 1985 he was one of the perpetrators of the massacre in Palermo in which Motisi, together with a commando of nine killers, killed the head of the investigative unit of the National Police and one of his escort police officers, firing more than two hundred Kalashnikov rounds.”
We told how Glasgow hood Deco Ferguson is wanted for questioning in connection with two murders, including the slaying of Thomas Cameron, 49, who was shot dead in June 2007 at the Auchinairn Tavern, Bishopbriggs, near Glasgow.
Cops also want to grill Ferguson, 59, over the killing a month later of gangland enforcer Billy Joe Bates, 42, whose body was stuffed in an oil drum then dumped in the River Clyde.
Global crime fighters attending Interpol’s general assembly in Glasgow last week insisted there are “no safe havens” for Scots mob fugitives.
An Interpol chief told how increasing cooperation between its 196 members means it’s much harder for hoods to outrun the law.
Yaron Gottlieb, Interpol’s legal affairs director, pointed to the capture of Irishman Sean McGovern, 37, a key member of the Kinahan cartel which has links to Scots gangs.
He was nabbed last month in Dubai after Irish authorities requested an Interpol ‘Red Notice’, which UAE police then responded to.
And Mr Gottlieb believes this could have major consequences for others attempting to evade justice in foreign boltholes.
He said: “This sends a loud signal to criminals around the world — there is no safe haven.
“You thought you were safe in the UAE but you’re not.

“More and more countries now recognise the Red Notice.
“We have a significant number in place involving organised criminal activity. We will continue publishing them.”
