A man who is wanted by German authorities in connection to alleged rape and sexual assault offences against a child has been arrested in Co Armagh.
The man was apprehended by the PSNI’s International Policing Unit, in conjunction with the Mahon Road Neighbourhood Policing Team.
The 38-year-old who was arrested in Portadown is to stand trial in relation to alleged offences which occurred in the Berlin area of Germany between September 2020 and December 2021.
He was detained on a German extradition warrant and will appear before Laganside Extradition Court on Tuesday.
A PSNI spokesman said: “Our message is clear, Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for any wanted persons trying to avoid arrest and the consequences of their previous actions.
“We will relentlessly pursue those that are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
