Spanish police said Saturday they had arrested a 64-year-old long-haul truck driver wanted by German authorities for drug trafficking.
The man allegedly used his job to transport more than 250 kilograms of marijuana and hashish worth over 500,000 euros ($540,000) from Spain to Germany, Catalan regional police said in a statement.
Police arrested him on Tuesday at a logistics hub in Santa Perpetua de la Mogoda near Barcelona, it added.
He is in custody pending extradition under a European Arrest Warrant.
Spain is a major entry point for marijuana and hashish into Europe due to its proximity to Morocco, a leading producer of the drugs.
