The man was arrested in Portadown on January 13 this year and was held in prison until proceedings to extradite him to Germany were finished.
Sergeant Davey, from PSNI’s International Policing Unit, said: “We continue to work closely with the National Crime Agency and our European partners to locate, arrest and extradite those wanted in other countries.
