Seventh arrest over drugs haul as Irish couple stay in custody

The Irish couple arrested in Spain after a €3m cannabis seizure aboard a yacht remain in custody as a seventh suspect was arrested at the weekend.

The Spanish Civil Guard arrested a German man on the Costa del Sol on Saturday as officers conducted follow-up searches after Thursday’s haul.

The Spanish authorities are questioning all the suspects before the case is considered by an examining magistrate. They can be detained for up to three months without charge.
