MEMBERS of the German mafia who belong to the Hell's Angels Motor Club (HAMC) have been arrested in Mallorca and charged with money-laundering, blackmail, illegal possession of firearms, human trafficking, drug-dealing and causing grievous bodily harm.
The Hell's Angels are made up of motorcyclists of numerous nationalities – although mostly German – and have branches or 'chapters' in 40 countries on all five continents.
One of these is based in Bulgaria and is responsible for forging documents, especially passports and national identity cards.
They are known to have kidnapped a large number of young women to force them to work as prostitutes in German brothels and even forced the victims themselves to deliver the proceeds to other Hell's Angels members in Spain, as well as stealing their identities for loans and purchases of goods to avoid capture.
