Usage Note
Inseguire takes avere as its auxiliary. It implies active physical or figurative pursuit (inseguire un sogno — to pursue a dream). The noun inseguimento (chase, pursuit) is common in news reports and police contexts. Do not confuse with seguire (to follow, accompany) which lacks the 'chasing' connotation.
Examples
"La polizia ha inseguito il ladro per strada."
Natural Translation
The police chased the thief down the street.
