Police Launch Massive Cross-Border Raid Targeting Money-Laundering Ring and Hells Angels

Following intelligence from dpa, police deployed over a thousand officers, including special-deployment units, in a synchronized sweep across Germany and other European states. The action targeted an extensive money-laundering operation linked to the Hells A-​​ngeles motorcycle club. In Duisburg, officials announced the enforcement of several arrest warrants and the search of 140 premises.

The raids spanned multiple federal states and extended into neighboring countries, reflecting the transnational scope of the criminal network. The Duisburg public prosecutor’s office is coordinating the investigation, which aims to dismantle the laundering infrastructure and curb the gang’s activities.
