Criminal Rap Sheet?

Question

Any ideas on how to say 'rap sheet' in Spanish? or wanted sheet, such as in the paper that INTERPOL would send to the local police for help locating a suspect? Thanks!

Are you looking for something like, the top 10 most wanted, or America's most wanted? - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

I just specified criminal, because I know when I saw the topic I thought you were talking about the genre of music... until I opened it. Lol - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

@DJ Huero, solo tu hermano, criminal rap, jejejeje - AngelinaG, Apr 8, 2011

jaja... it's less ambiguous specifying criminal... lol - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

now that I think about it, most rappers are wannabe criminals ;-P - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

Answer 1

According to the dictionary, antecedentes penales.

I'm doing comparisons no the web and stuff... that seems to be more like a "criminal record/background". - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

. . .which is what a rap sheet is. - lorenzo9, Apr 8, 2011

In a sense, but it sounded like he was looking for a wanted list to me... never said that's wrong, just wondered if I missed something. ;-) - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

Lorenzo is right. If you're looking for something more colloquial, I've yet to come across it. - DonK, Apr 8, 2011

Answer 2

Well a "rap sheet" is your criminal record, so I think on that account Lorenzo is correct or close. Now as for "wanted sheet" (which is a term I have never heard) or "Arrest Warrent" would be something similar to "Orden de Detención Judicial"... Or atleast thats what I find when I search

The top 10 most wanted, or America's most wanted... those will give you the idea. - DJ_Huero, Apr 8, 2011

Ah, I understand now... - kerflop, Apr 8, 2011

Answer 3

Ok, to clarify, in the movie Machete, a drug lord is working with the aid to a senator- the aid hires who he thinks is a day laborer to shoot the senator, but really turns out to be an ex fedral policeman. due to the shooting, there is a 'wanted' sheet with details to the identity of Machete (the ex police). What would that sheet be called? Rap sheet was not exactly right in English, but maybe sort of because it has criminal record details...I dont know, you guys have ideas?

Answer 4

Well to be wanted is "buscado (por la policía)". It looks like Spain has a program called, "Operation Captura" which is an equivalent to Crimestoppers here in America.

Ok, so I'm thinking maybe, "la lista/ la guía de los más buscados"

Using the "la lista...." version, I get better results in Google such as this.
