A man wanted in Germany over armed robbery and organised crime charges has been arrested in Malta, police said on Friday.

The arrest was made on the back of a European Arrest Warrant issued by the German authorities.

Police arrested the 25-year-old from Cameroon at the Corradino Correctional Facility, where he is serving a sentence for crimes relating to fake passports.

He was brought to court earlier on Friday, where he agreed to extradition proceedings.

Inspector Mark Galea led the prosecution.
