<p>In theory the bounty money is spent to get that fugitive delivered, so could it get paid to the fugitive themself?</p>

<p>In <strong><a href="/questions/tagged/england-and-wales" class="post-tag" title="show questions tagged &#39;england-and-wales&#39;" rel="tag">england-and-wales</a></strong>, the independent charity <a href="https://crimestoppers-uk.org/" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><em>Crimestoppers</em></a> can give <a href="https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/rewards-for-information" rel="nofollow noreferrer">cash rewards</a> for information leading to an arrest and charge.</p>
<p>The giver of this information is <a href="https://crimestoppers-uk.org/give-information/our-guarantee-of-anonymity" rel="nofollow noreferrer">guaranteed total anonymity</a> so it is possible for a (suspected) criminal to claim their own reward - but due to the anonymity it is impossible to prove unless they reveal it themselves.</p>
