Bandidos Revolt: Mass Exodus of Rockers to Hells Angels

In the northern part of Madrid, a Europe-wide meeting of the Bandidos took place on Saturday, but for the police, these bikers are associated with organized crime. What started as a party quickly turned into a crisis summit. In Germany, Bandidos have defected to the Hells Angels - bad news for the European president.

The report by SPIEGEL TV shows the complex scenario in the world of bikers: Bandidos versus the Hells Angels, and all against the state. For years, the ongoing war between the gangs has kept investigators on their toes. Violence prevails - bikers shoot bikers, opponents are eliminated. The law of the street applies, only the strongest survives. But those who leave the gangs live dangerously, as in the eyes of the gangs, defectors are traitors.

When a former member of the Hells Angels in Berlin dies in a hail of bullets while attempting to switch to the Bandidos, it becomes clear that violence is a pervasive means of conflict resolution. The leaders of both sides, Frank Hanebuth for the Hells Angels and Peter Matchollek as well as Leslav Leshause for the Bandidos, divide Germany and fight for influence.

In the following years, the scene does calm down somewhat, but conflicts within the gangs persist. The state even prohibits individual clubs from displaying their symbols. However, a recently circulating video on the internet showed the Hells Angels at an event in North Rhine-Westphalia, hinting at a possible defection of some Bandidos. An insider who has been observing the milieu for years reports on the show of power and the clear alignment of the protagonists with the Hells Angels.

The videos and information suggest a massive defection of Bandidos to the Hells Angels. Additionally, it is said that the bosses of the Bandidos, Peter Matchollek and Leshause, have left the club. The investigations and backgrounds of these events are complex and reveal the unpredictability of the rival gangs.

The situation in North Rhine-Westphalia is further complicated by other criminal groups such as Turkish-Arab clans and the Mokro Mafia from the Netherlands. The police investigations are multi-faceted and showcase the readiness for violence and ruthlessness of organized crime. Explosives and high risks characterize the milieu, marked by confrontations and power games.

The mass exodus of rockers and the battles for territories and influence highlight the precarious situation in the underground of society. Law enforcement agencies and the public are alarmed, as the conflict between the biker gangs and other criminal groups escalates, posing a threat to the safety and peace in the region
