Spanish police said Friday they had seized a record 827,000 ecstasy tablets as well as other narcotics in what they called "the biggest ever seizure of synthetic drugs" in Spain.

In a joint operation, the Guardia Civil and the National Police smashed "the main international criminal organisation behind the production and supply of most of the synthetic drugs in Spain", they said in a joint statement.

Synthetic drugs are manufactured using man-made chemicals rather than natural ingredients.

Eleven people were arrested on charges of drug trafficking and belonging to a criminal organisation, including the organisation's Dutch boss.
