An alleged mercenary has been arrested in London over a plot to kidnap the boss of an Albanian crime gang in revenge for a multimillion-pound drug theft.
Latvian national Ainis Balodis, 45, was one of four men held in an international operation led by German police earlier this month.
Balodis, who flew into the UK on 31 October, is fighting extradition to Germany where he is wanted on charges of conspiracy to kidnap between August and October last year.
Westminster Magistrates' Court heard he was arrested at a six-bedroom gated property in London where he is believed to have been working as a security guard.
Balodis has been remanded in custody ahead of a full extradition hearing next year.

The first minister has accused the Home Office of making up its plans to house asylum seekers in a Highland barracks "on the back of an envelope".
John Swinney made the remarks the day after plans to place 300 men in Cameron Barracks in Inverness by early December were delayed.
He also accused some people who protested outside the barracks of "expressing racist views" - but later said members of the public had legitimate questions about the plans and that the Home Office had not engaged properly with Scottish authorities.
The Home Office said it wanted to avoid rushed plans leading to "unsafe and chaotic situations".
It said it would proceed when facilities were "fully operational and safe".

Passengers in the UK are being assured there will only be minimal disruption over the weekend following a software issue affecting thousands of Airbus planes.
The aircraft are from the A320 family - used by numerous airlines - and need a systems update before they can fly again.
Airbus issued the alert on Friday after analysis of a flight involving an A320 showed "intense solar radiation may corrupt data critical to the functioning of flight controls".
On Saturday, the UK Civil Aviation Authority said UK airlines had worked overnight to carry out the update where needed and assured the impact to passengers in Britain would be minimal.

US President Donald Trump has said that the airspace around Venezuela should be considered closed.
"To all Airlines, Pilots, Drug Dealers, and Human Traffickers, please consider THE AIRSPACE ABOVE AND SURROUNDING VENEZUELA TO BE CLOSED IN ITS ENTIRETY," Trump said in a social media post.
The US does not legally have the authority to close another country's airspace, but Trump's post could lead to travel uncertainty and deter airlines from operating there.
