Police: Toprockers held illegal Bandidos meetings at a pig's head and mashed potato pub

Full House

The large hall in Glostrup is packed. With the ten Bandidos members, their lawyers, their relatives, and tough police officers.

Bandidos have been subject to an administrative ban since May last year. This means that it is forbidden in any way to continue the group. This could be by wearing the characteristic leather vests or holding large parades on motorcycles.

The National Unit for Special Crime announced on Tuesday in a press release that the ten men were arrested at a pub in Horsens, where they have been holding meetings on the first Tuesday of the month since the ban.

According to the police, these are leading members of Bandidos. The judge has, at a constitutional hearing, decided that all ten accused should be protected by a name ban. Therefore, it is forbidden for the press to describe the rockers in more detail.

What can the punishment be?

Courts often handle cases where people have continued the two banned gangs, Loyal To Familia and Bandidos.

Recently, a man was sentenced for continuing Bandidos because he had a piece of paper lying freely visible in his prison cell. Here it said "Kill them all" and "Bandidos Aarhus".

The court in Roskilde acquitted in March four men for continuing the group, after the four had driven around on motorcycles in football shirts of colors that could be associated with Bandidos.

Last year, a number of members of Loyal To Familia were sentenced between 30 days and 4 months in prison for a large "photoshoot" on Blågårdsplads with a subsequent communal meal on Østerbro.

Forbiddden case is ongoing

The trial takes place at a time when the case regarding a permanent ban against Bandidos is being handled by the court in Helsingør.

Here, the prosecution is trying to prove that Bandidos is a group with an illegal purpose, and that it can therefore be dissolved by law.

The temporary ban against Bandidos has been in effect since May 22 last year. This means that it is punishable to continue the group. This will, among other things, mean that vests with emblems and other distinguishing marks are prohibited and can result in a prison sentence.

More than 30 court hearings have been set for the case against Bandidos, and it is expected that the verdict will not be announced until the other side of the summer.
