He was detained on a German extradition warrant and will appear before Laganside Extradition Court on Tuesday.
A PSNI spokesman said: “Today’s arrest is another example of the police service working closely with the National Crime Agency and our international partners to locate fugitives and bring them before the extradition courts.
“Our message is clear, Northern Ireland is not a safe haven for any wanted persons trying to avoid arrest and the consequences of their previous actions.
“We will relentlessly pursue those that are trying to delay or deny justice to victims of crime.”
