Update from the Interior Ministry's department. - It's likely that outlaws aim to reform following a ban.
The Bandidos motorcycle gang intends to revive their local groups after being barred, as revealed in a private report from the Interior Ministry to the state legislature. This could prompt a renewed rivalry with their adversaries, the Hells Angels.
In a recent article, the "Rheinische Post" disclosed an internal communication from the State Criminal Police Office to all police stations about the evolution of the rocker culture. Local officers need to be in the loop. The Interior Ministry, in a private parliamentary document, acknowledges that Bandidos members persist in "exercising influence in the criminal rocker scene." The prospective establishments could chiefly target the Ruhr region.
The secret report cautions that neither Bandidos nor Hells Angels are eager to "display conflict situations in public," but "if their expansion plans are validated, clashes can be anticipated due to the pronounced power and territorial claims of the groups."
The Federal Interior Ministry proscribed and dissolved the "Bandidos Motorcycle Club Federation West" as well as its 38 putative chapters, or subsidiaries, in July 2021. The ministry cited the group as a significant threat to public safety at the time. Grave bodily harm and attempted and successful murders are connected to the organization.
