A suspect in a £70m cocaine smuggling plot is among 10 British fugitives thought to be on the run in Spain.
Detectives believe David McDermott fled the UK after the discovery of the drugs hidden in a consignment of frozen Argentinian beef at Tilbury docks.
Before he left, undercover police filmed him and others allegedly planning to attack rivals who they thought had stolen the cocaine.
McDermott, 41, from Ormskirk, West Lancashire, is wanted for conspiracy to import drugs and conspiracy to blackmail.
He is 5ft 11in tall with a two-inch scar on his wrist.
McDermott and nine other men feature in the latest appeal in Operation Captura, which calls on the public to help identify wanted British fugitives thought to be living in Spain.
The names of the other nine will be revealed in a press conference in Madrid later this morning.
They are wanted for crimes including rape, child sex attacks, manslaughter and drug trafficking.
Some are already convicted, others are wanted to face trial, but all are the subject of European arrest warrants.
British and Spanish police will publish the suspects' photographs and brief details of the allegations against them.
Inspector Olga Lizana, head of Spain's fugitive unit, said the country was still a favourite bolt hole for British criminals.
She said: "It's a really easy life, they come here because there is a big British community with its own schools, doctors, supermarkets and everything else.
"You don't even need to know the language, so it's a good place for them to come and hide.
"But we are catching more and more, so it is not a safe place for them to be."
Operation Captura appeals have helped bring 65 out of 76 suspects to justice in the UK.
Anyone with information can contact Crimestoppers by phone free and anonymously from Spain on 900 555 111, from the UK on 0800 555 111 or online at www.crimestoppers-uk.org.
