I've noticed that I have some users that seem fraudulent in my database (in the wp_users column). And the curious thing is that they don't appear in the users list in the admin panel.

How could this happen?

many thanks

Might be this is due to the Spam. Diable use registration under the General -> Settings if you don't need registration on the front-end or use the captcha or other spam protection plugins.

Regarding the backend -> Have you checked the wp_usermeta table if any role assigned to those users or not? Check user roles for those users.
