The raid at the eastern province Alicante marked the country's largest crystal meth seizure and second largest in Europe, Spain's national police said in a news release Thursday. The cartel members installed a complex hydraulic system in a van to hide drugs in an effort to transport the narcotic.

"Among those arrested is a Mexican citizen linked to the Sinaloa Cartel."
