A millionaire fraudster from Spain, wanted on an international arrest warrant, was arrested at Frankfurt Airport in Germany.
The 47-year-old should be brought before a judge. The German Federal Police said this would decide whether to extradite the man to the United States. He faces up to 30 years in prison.
The Spaniard is said to have caused damage of around $4.5 million with other fraudsters between 2008 and 2013 by developing and selling malware. According to the federal police, he wanted to travel to Oman via Frankfurt on Wednesday, but investigators prevented this. (sda/dpa)
