Ian Donaldson, 29, was snared by Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency officers

Ian Donaldson, 29, was snared by Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency officers on Friday afternoon. They swooped using an international arrest warrant issued by a judge in Madrid. Now Donaldson, of Renton, Dunbartonshire, faces extradition to Spain where he is expected to face money laundering and drug trafficking charges. The arrest is part of Operation Sendero - a long-running investigation spearheaded by Spanish police. Fellow suspects Ronald O'Dea, 4 2, and Jim McDonald, 59, both of Glasgow, are already in custody in Madrid.They were arrested following the seizure of 70 kilos of amphetamines from a lorry in Oxfordshire heading for Scotland. Spanish police have already seized assets worth £12million on the holiday island of Tenerife. The haul includes eight luxury homes, a fleet of sports cars and a yacht which were all owned by Donaldson. One of his properties is a £1million cliff-top villa. Donaldson will appear at Edinburgh Sheriff Court tomorrow. A decision will be taken whether to keep him in custody in Scotland, transfer him to Spain immediately, or grant him bail. Last month we revealed Donaldson had been spotted enjoying a night out with pals in a Glasgow nightclub despite being a wanted man. The SCDEA said: "A 29-year-old man was arrested following the execution of an arrest warrant which had been issued in Spain." Donaldson is a struggling amateur racing driver whose team compete in an orange Lamborghini.
