A Peterhead man detained during a holiday in Croatia last month is set to stand trial in Spain.
Aiden Campbell is understood to have been travelling with a group of friends when he was apprehended at Split Saint Jerome Airport on Thursday, July 30.
The 22-year-old was arrested in Tenerife in September 2024 in connection with a public health charge. The full details of the charge are not currently known.
After his detention, the Provincial Court of Tenerife issued a warrant for him after he failed to attend a hearing. He was subsequently detained after travelling to Croatia last month, the Record reports.
Campbell is expected to be moved from Croatia to Tenerife where he will face trial over the charge. The Spanish courts confirm they are waiting for Campbell’s transfer from Croatia.

Following this he will appear in a Tenerife court over the accusation.
The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office confirmed it was supporting Campbell and his family. An update on the case is expected in September.
An FCDO Spokesperson said: “We are supporting a British national who has been detained in Croatia, and his family. We are also in contact with the local authorities.”
A spokesperson for the High Court of Justice of the Canary Islands said: “The proceedings are located in Section V of the Provincial Audience of Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
“They tell me that Mr Campbell has not yet moved to Spain. Once the transfer is carried out, a judicial settlement will be achieved.”
