European notice about top fugitive? (7)
I believe the answer is:
escapee
'fugitive?' is the definition.
(escapee is a kind of fugitive)
'european notice about top' is the wordplay.
'european' becomes 'e' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'notice' becomes 'see' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'top' becomes 'cap' (synonyms).
'see' enclosing 'cap' is 'scapee'.
'e'+'scapee'='ESCAPEE'
(Other definitions for escapee that I've seen before include "prisoner on the loose" , "Runaway" , "One absconding" , "One who got away" , "One getting away" .)
