Bandidostråden, allt om Bandidos och prospects

En kraftig explosion inträffade sent i Malmö på tisdagskvällen.

Den misstänkta sprängladdningen detonerade på samma adress där en ledare inom Bandidos sköts ned i helgen.

– När två grova brott inträffar så nära varandra under så kort tid är det klart att vi tittar på eventuella kopplingar, säger Nils Norling informatör vid Skånepolisen.

Sedan april i år har Bandidos funnits i lokalen. Hyresgästen har förklarat närvaron med att han håller på med ett filmprojekt med Bandidos i huvudrollen.

Först ville hyresvärden vräka hyresgästen och fick rätt av kronofogden. Men i samband med en förlikning i tingsrätten har hyresvärden nu gett klartecken för filmprojektet fram till december 2015.

Fyra ordningsvakter i Halmstad riskerar att förlora sitt tillstånd. Orsaken är att de är medlemmar i en mc-klubb som visat sig ha kopplingar till mc-gänget Bandidos.

Vincenzo de Leoni, 42, från Halmstad och en av Bandidos högste ledare i Europa slipper inte undan ett fängelsestraff för grov misshandel.
Han ska avtjäna ett års fängelse för grov misshandel efter att Högsta Domstolen beslutat att inte ta upp fallet, skriver Hallandsposten på nätet.

Han fälldes för att ha slagit ner en annan man i baren på Högfjällshotellet i Sälen och sedan sparkat honom flera gånger i huvudet och på kroppen.

Fyra ordningsvakter i Halmstad riskerar att förlora sitt tillstånd. Orsaken är att de är medlemmar i en mc-klubb som visat sig ha kopplingar till mc-gänget Bandidos.

Eftersom ordningsvakter företräder polisen är kombinationen olämplig, menar de, och nu får två av vakterna sina förordanden indragna.

The Texas-based president of the international Bandidos biker club says he was as "shocked as anybody else" by the murder of eight of his members last weekend in Ontario and denied his organization had anything to do with the slaying.

"The only people that really know what happened are the eight people killed and maybe the people in jail," said Jeff Pike in an exclusive interview with the Globe and Mail from his home outside of Houston, Texas.

Mr. Pike angrily dismissed as a "stupid story" reports in some newspapers of a hit squad being sent from the Chicago to deal with troublesome Canadian members. "We don't do that kind of stuff," he said.

He said the Ontario murders - which wiped out the only official chapter the Bandidos had left in Canada - meant "there's going to be a hard road back" to rebuilding the club here.

Asked about the Bandidos' reputation for law-breaking, Mr. Pike replied: "We get speeding tickets all the time."

In fact, Det. Georgia says the latest police statistics show that 70 to 80% of the Bandido members have criminal for drugs, weapons or other violent offences.

The Shedden massacre involved the killing of eight men, whose bodies were found in a farmer's field five kilometres north[1] of Shedden, a small village in the Canadian province of Ontario, on April 8, 2006. Four vehicles, with the bodies inside, were first discovered by a farmer.[2] The day after the bodies were discovered, five people, including one member of the Bandidos motorcycle gang, were arrested for the murders, and three more people were arrested in June 2009. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) said the killings were an isolated event and there were no fears for the safety of local residents.[1]

Alex Caine knows well the world of outlaw bikers.

The retired criminal investigator spent years of his life infiltrating biker gangs and spilling their secrets to law enforcement.

Caine's theory begins with an opportunistic drug rip-off that left a young Bandidos prospect open to retaliation and it ends with the well-known murders that made headlines across the country.

"There are eight dead guys and there are six guys accused of doing it," Caine said in a recent telephone interview with CTV.ca.

Caine believes the trouble for the Ontario-based Bandidos started about a month before the infamous killings, when a young prospect was working a shift as a towtruck driver in west-end Toronto.

He says that Jamie Flanz, a 37-year-old man who lived in the town of Keswick, on Lake Simcoe, was the person who found the drugs.

An ex-bouncer, Flanz was working a shift for 52-year-old George Jessome, another one of the soon-to-be-victims of the Shedden massacre.

According to Caine, Flanz found a car parked illegally on the street in March 2006 and decided to tow it.

The car had Quebec plates and a gym bag inside its trunk filled with cocaine "in a quantity that had to be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars."

But the drugs were owned by the Hells Angels, and Caine believes Flanz happened upon a delivery vehicle that was left alone for too long.

LONDON, Ont. ─ The outspoken ringleader of a Bandidos biker massacre is seeking a new trial because his own outrageous words were used against him.

Wayne Kellestine's appeal of eight first-degree murder convictions is also based on the arguments he was not well served by his defence team and was the target of untrustworthy bikers eager to deflect blame.
