A notary has been arrested in Spain after the Maltese police requested that a European arrest warrant be issued against him over allegations of misappropriation.
Pierre Falzon was arrested in Marbella on Saturday after the Maltese police made their request a week ago, the Parliamentary Secretariat for Small Businesses and Land said in a brief statement.
Extradition proceedings are expected to start against the notary in Spain so that he will return to Malta to face charges, sources said.
