Macann is wanted by Bulgarian authorities on charges of conspiracy to supply multiple kilograms of cocaine in 2020. He was traced to Bulgaria after a joint operation by the UK's National Crime Agency, Bulgarian police and the Spanish Civil Guard.  

He is now in custody in Bulgaria where he is awaiting extradition back to the UK.
