One of the nation's biggest investigations into organised crime has exposed an international drug importation syndicate with links to the Comancheros outlaw bikie gang, Chinese triads and corrupt Australian officials.
Operation Hoffman, a landmark multi-agency investigation led by the Australian Crime Commission, has also revealed the deep links between drug importers and rogue Australian maritime workers.
A joint ABC Four Corners and The Age investigation into organised crime can also reveal that:
_In Victoria, authorities have uncovered links between corrupt Melbourne port workers, the Hells Angels and prominent Italian criminals
_NSW police have identified a group of drug-importing Sydney port workers with government maritime security cards who have been active since 2004
_Law enforcement agencies in Sydney recently updated a list of 150 organised crime targets in NSW alone.
The two-year Operation Hoffman has uncovered how multi-million-dollar crime syndicates are operating like multinational enterprises, evading police by drawing on local and overseas resources and the latest technology.
It has led to major ecstasy, heroin and crystal methamphetamine drug busts across Australia, the biggest-ever drug bust on the Pacific island group of Tonga, and the discovery in May last year of a bikie armoury in Sydney - including automatic weapons and imitation police equipment.One of the nation's biggest investigations into organised crime has exposed an... more

Already a scourge in northern Europe, criminal motor bike gangs are making rapid inroads in the southeast of the continent as they bid to consolidate their grip on the drug-smuggling racket via the “Balkan Route” from Turkey.
Police say gangs affiliated to the Hell’s Angels network have made swift advances in Turkey and Albania as they use Turkey as a staging post for the onward transportation of drugs into Europe, a business so lucrative that turf wars are feared in a criminal fraternity noted for its violence.
In the past couple of years, Hell’s Angels gangs from outside these countries have built close relationships with local motor bike outlaws and with gangs in Bulgaria and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. German outlaw motorcyclists of Turkish origin are also known to have defected to the Hell’s Angels’ “charter” in Turkey from the rival Bandidos faction in Germany.
Motor bike outlaws have been around for decades, their exploits immortalised in the 1967 book Hell’s Angels: A Strange and Terrible Saga by legendary American journalist Hunter S Thompson.
Still active in the US, Canada and Australia, outlaw motor bike groups have long been a feature of the criminal scene in Germany, as they are in Denmark, Sweden, the Netherlands and France.
Many describe themselves as “one-percenters”, an expression which recalls a declaration by an American motorcycle club in the 1940s that 99 per cent of riders were law-abiding.Already a scourge in northern Europe, criminal motor bike gangs are making rapid... more

You're a big hairy Hells Angels biker and you're hanging out with the other Hells Angels. Suddenly your conversation about bikes and knitting is interrupted when a 26 years old turns up and drops his pants. It gets weirder when the kid throws a puppy at you and makes a slow paced escape on a stolen bulldozer.
This happened in Munich on Sunday, leaving some very confused bikers and a "3-mile traffic jam near the southern town of Allershausen,"-Telegraph.
The police did catch the puppy thrower, plus the puppy is okay.You're a big hairy Hells Angels biker and you're hanging out with the other... more

3 bombs explode at home of Mongols leader,
Three bombs exploded in the driveway of a leader of the Mongols Motorcycle Club in San Jose early Thursday, and police and federal agents were trying to determine whether the blasts were intended to be retaliation for the slaying of a Hells Angels leader in San Francisco earlier this month, authorities said.
A member of the Mongols who lives in Modesto has been named as a suspect in the Sept. 2 killing of Mark "Papa" Guardado, 46, head of the Hells Angels' San Francisco chapter.

It was Sunday afternoon in Bartlesville, Okla. - population 35,000 - when a disheveled man with a tattooed neck walked into the police station and pressed the buzzer to summon a dispatcher.
"He said, 'I am not armed, but I am a fugitive, and I'd like to turn myself in,' " recalled Bartlesville Police Chief Tom Holland. "Actually, nice young guy; conducted himself very politely with us."
The man would not say why he was wanted. But the Bartlesville police were quickly able to establish that he was Christopher Ablett, 37, an alleged member of the Mongols Motorcycle Club sought in San Francisco on charges that he killed Mark "Papa" Guardado, the head of the Hells Angels' "Frisco" chapter.It was Sunday afternoon in Bartlesville, Okla. - population 35,000 - when a disheveled... more
