Background The Copenhagen MC War (1983–85)On 30 December 1980, the then 'United MC' was appointed the first (HA) chapter in Scandinavia. Their long-standing opponents 'Filthy Few' were not keen to accept the new chapter at any level. Along with several members of other Copenhagen MC-clubs they formed the hard anti-Hells Angels MC-crew known as Bullshit MC. They settled at, benefited from the cannabis trade there, and, in September 1983, paid a visit to a well-known Hells Angels pub. This visit instigated a bloodbath that would last for the following two years and four months. The result of this first Scandinavian MC-war was the murder of eight Bullshit members (including three presidents), one Hells Angels member, and two innocent people. In addition, Bullshit MC members were also prime suspects for the murder of two non-bikers during the war.
When the police visited the former club house of Bullshit in 1986, they also found the corpse of a man beneath the clubhouse floor.The first war was limited to Copenhagen alone, unlike the second, and the number of deaths during the Copenhagen war met or exceeded the number of deaths in the following war. Unlike the second war, the first had a clear winner and no 'peace treaty' was required.The second MC War in ScandinaviaIn 1984 Morticians MC was formed and by the early 1990s, there were many motorcycle clubs across Scandinavia. In 1992, the Morticians and Hells Angels, who had been on good terms until then, became rivals as both clubs transformed from bike enthusiasts into criminal organizations. The Morticians then changed their name to Undertakers MC and became allies of the, whose only European chapter was based in, France at that point. In 1993, the Undertakers merged with the Bandidos to become Bandidos MC Denmark. In 1994 the Hells Angels tried to prevent Morbids MC from growing into an established biker gang and potential rival in Sweden. The Morbids then joined an alliance with the Bandidos, who backed-up their prospect club.
Also joined with the Bandidos in Norway.Police and prosecutors described the conflict as a drug-trade war between the two most powerful outlaw biker gangs in Scandinavia, the Hells Angels and the Bandidos, a 'deadly game' to prove 'who's the toughest'. Many of the in Scandinavia, particularly Copenhagen, were used to smuggle drugs in from Spain and the Netherlands. However, the criminologist Joi Bay criticised this assumption, saying that the police tactics were ineffective because they were based on the incorrect premise that the motivation of the bikers was profit, while in fact they were driven by values such as honor, style, respect, and brotherhood, and any drug crimes were incidental. In retrospective interviews in 2014, involved bikers rejected the drug-trade war interpretation and said the war started from a purely personal confrontation when the small Morbids club (with only six members) refused to capitulate to the larger Hells Angels. WeaponryBetween 1994 and 1997, there were at least thirty-six break-ins at Swedish and Danish Army installations; at least sixteen anti-tank missiles, ten machine guns, around three-hundred handguns, sixty-seven fully automatic rifles, two-hundred-and-five rifles of various calibres, hundreds of hand grenades and land mines, and seventeen kilograms of explosives plus detonators were stolen.
Police believe the Bandidos or their support clubs were responsible for the majority of the thefts. The Hells Angels obtained Russian- and Yugoslavian-made rocket launchers as well as surplus machine guns and rifles from Eastern Bloc countries.The conflict saw the use of the Swedish eight times, and the Russian three times. Hand grenades were used four times and a booby trap once. Were utilized three times, while other types of explosives were also used on three occasions.
The bombs used scaled in size between one and five kilograms. Open conflictAccording to a 1997 report by, the Bandidos presence in the Nordic countries at the time of the war consisted of around 130 members from at least seven chapters while the Hells Angels contingent was made up of around 290 members in total from 15 chapters, with 85 in Sweden, 110 in Denmark, 70 in Norway and 25 in Finland.The first incident was a shooting at the clubhouse of Morbids MC, on 26 January 1994 in, Sweden, but no one was injured or killed. In February 1994, there was a shoot-out between Hells Angels and Bandidos members in the same city, resulting in the death of Joakim Boman, a Hells Angels member.
Just days later, an anti-tank rocket was fired at the Hells Angels clubhouse. On 22 June 1994, the president of Klan MC, an ally of the Bandidos in Finland, was shot dead by the Hells Angels and on 19 February 1995, the war reached Norway as a shoot-out in between the Hells Angels and Bandidos ended in one biker being wounded., the president of Bandidos MC Sweden, was assassinated on 17 July 1995 and the Bandidos retaliated by firing anti-tank rockets at the clubhouses of Hells Angels prospect clubs in, Finland and Helsingborg, Sweden nine days later. Two Bandidos members were later sentenced, Kai Tapio Blom was given six years imprisonment and Antti Tauno Tapani was given four years. When Bandidos MC Finland's president arrived at a Helsinki court house for the trial of Blom and Tapani, he was attacked and beaten by Hells Angels and Cannonball MC members. A Hells Angels-owned in Helsinki was later destroyed in retaliation. AftermathBy the end of the war, 11 murders and 74 attempted murders had been committed and 96 people were wounded.
Both clubs signed a treaty saying that no more chapters would be opened up in Scandinavia, but both sides had already broken the treaty by the end of the 1990s. In Denmark, a law that banned motorcycle clubs from owning or renting property for their club activities was passed. The law has subsequently been repealed on constitutional grounds.A in Sweden during the late 2010s and early 2020s has been attributed by Swedish police to a resurgence of drug wars between rival gangs.
