Client's family charged in Hells Angels murder trial!
In recent years, the world of rocker clubs has rarely been quiet. A particularly sensational case from Hamburg is now bringing the Hells Angels back into the public eye. The focus is on an attempted murder that took place in St. Pauli in August 2018 and left a rocker boss paralyzed. The incident marks the dramatic climax of a long rivalry, particularly between the Hells Angels and the rocker group Mongols, which dissolved in 2016 and which have repeatedly drawn attention to themselves through violence in the past.
The public prosecutor has now requested prison sentences for the client's mother (57) and two sisters (37 and 36). The background to this charge is aiding and abetting attempted murder as well as dangerous and serious bodily harm. The women are accused of this because they actively helped to prepare the crime and were involved in the planning in various roles. While the younger daughter is also accused of hiding the murder vehicle after the attempted murder, the investigation has shown that the rocker boss was 38 years old on the evening of the crime and has been permanently dependent on a wheelchair since the incident.
The background to the crime
The shots fired at the rocker boss were fired on the night of August 27, 2018. At that time, there was already increased tension between the rival groups. The main perpetrator and the client were sentenced to life imprisonment in 2020, while the shooter, the client's father and the client's girlfriend at the time also received heavy sentences. This development reflects the brutal reality facing the Hells Angels and shows how deeply entrenched their modern conflicts with other motorcycle clubs like the Bandidos and Mongols are.
The Hells Angels are not only considered a notorious motorcycle club, founded in California in 1948, but are also known for their connection to organized crime. In addition to murder, they are involved in numerous crimes, including drug trafficking and human trafficking. The image that the Hells Angels carry is that of a violent and dangerous clan that has a significant influence not only in the USA, but also in Europe, especially Germany.
The role of the Hells Angels in Germany
In Germany, the Hells Angels have faced a stricter ban since 2017 that prohibits the wearing of habits associated with banned subgroups. There are also numerous regional subgroups that are also banned. These include, among others, the Hells Angels MC Hamburg and the Hells Angels MC Bremen. The criminal activities of these clubs not only fuel fears among the population, but also lead to constant surveillance by the authorities.
The Hells Angels also have high-ranking but controversial members, such as Frank Hanebuth, who was arrested in Spain in 2013 but was acquitted in 2022. This is just one example of the multitude of lawsuits and legal disputes surrounding the club.
The question of what the future of the Hells Angels looks like remains open. The constant feuds, especially with other clubs, which further inflame the already tense situation, create a cycle of violence and arrests. The public prosecutor has not yet given an exact date for the verdict in the current trial, but the developments are of great interest in the rocker scene and the public.
Overall, it is clear that the rivalries and the associated violent clashes between the Hells Angels and other motorcycle clubs continue to be a hotly contested issue that is of great concern to both the judiciary and society.
