DW is reporting that "The trial of a former leader of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang in Europe is slated to begin in Madrid, Spain, on Monday. Prosecutors are seeking a 13-year prison sentence for German national Frank Hanebuth, who headed a Hells Angels chapter on the Spanish resort island of Mallorca. Hanebuth is being tried alongside 46 alleged collaborators for their alleged involvement in organized crime."
"Spanish prosecutors allege the Hells Angels conducted illegal activities in Mallorca from 2009 to 2013 under Hanebuth's leadership. Hanebuth has been charged with being a member of a criminal organization, money laundering and illegal possession of firearms. He faces a €4.2 million ($3.5 million) fine for the money laundering charge. The other members were allegedly involved in a litany of crimes including extortion, pimping, acquiring illegal firearms and robbery at popular tourist spots. The trial is expected to last several weeks."
Prostitution, drug trafficking, extortion and robbery. Things that make ya go hmmm...
Patch on the right "Crime City Crew" and on the left "Red Light Crew". No mystery here. Basically he got his whole chapter in Germany shut down and banned, so he and his merry men took a train to Spain, but the rain was mainly on their game.
ReplyDeleteIndeed. Nice metaphor.
DeleteI think you’ve got it, by George he’s got it!!!!
DeleteAccording to the Spanish newspaper 20 Minutos, the indictment listed prostitution as one of the group's primary sources of income, accusing the members of exploiting and coercing women who worked in private clubs acquired by the Hells Angels chapter.
ReplyDeleteProsecutors have alleged that the women were even subjected to cosmetic surgery with the sole purpose of "making them more productive and obtaining a greater profit from the activities they carry out."
What consenting adults do behind closed doors is their business. The key words are consenting adults. The young boys Errol Gildea pimped out in Thailand were consenting but they were not adults. Extortion and forced prostitution is low life. When Margo Compton tried to get out of that life the club kidnapped her kids. Then when she went to the police they killed her and her kids. That was totally f*cked up.
DeleteIndeed.
Delete"No women, no kids".
That's the way it's *supposed* to be.
