A record catch of crystal meth in Rotterdam in 2019 appears to be linked to a Spanish investigation into a Mexican drug cartel operating in the Netherlands. In the investigation, the Dutch police seized a total of 2,537 kilos of pure methamphetamine in a Rotterdam shed in the Schiebroek business park in 2019. The police recently arrested 16 people in Spain, the Netherlands and Turkey who smuggled large amounts of cocaine and methamphetamine into Europe, the Spanish National Police reported. The organization was based in Spain and the Netherlands and is said to be affiliated with the Mexican Beltrán Leyva cartel.
