<p>One of the UK&#8217;s most wanted fugitives has been arrested in Spain.</p>
<p>Dennis O&#8217;Brien, from Liverpool, is suspected of leading a gang which plotted to import £166 million of cocaine into the UK from Peru.</p>
<p>The 62-year-old was found at a Costa del Sol bar on Saturday after a joint operation by the British Serious Organised Crime Agency (Soca) and Spanish police.</p>
<p>He is one of the fugitives featured in Operation Captura &#8211; Crimestoppers&#8217; campaign to trace suspected British criminals who are on the run in Spain.</p>
<p>Police caught up with O&#8217;Brien at the Trafalgar Bar, in Calahonda, a coastal town between Marbella and Fuengirola.</p>
<p>A spokesman said: &#8220;Dennis Patrick O&#8217;Brien was arrested on Saturday in Calahonda in the Costa del Sol.</p>
<p>&#8220;The arrest was part of an ongoing operation by the Spanish National Police and the UK&#8217;s Serious Organised Crime Agency targeting bars in the region which are known to be regular haunts of criminals.&#8221;</p>
<p>O&#8217;Brien fled the country in 2005 before he could be put on trial for his alleged role in a conspiracy to supply 1.6 tonnes of cocaine.</p>
<p>His son James Kelly, from Garston, Liverpool, was jailed at Liverpool Crown Court for 19 years in March 2007 for his part in the same trafficking plot.</p>
<p>The investigation led police from Peru to England, via Rotterdam, Madrid and Amsterdam, and even saw gang members tailed to Hong Kong and Dubai.</p>
