Approach to crime within motorcycle clubs
The government has special attention to certain motorcycle clubs and their members because of various incidents and criminal activities in the country. The approach of motorcycle clubs is a high priority for the police and its partners (Public Prosecutor, municipalities, etc.). Outlawbikers are regularly involved in criminal and/or subversive activities. Think of harassment, extortion, violence, weapons and drugs.
