COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) — Denmark’s government says it wants a court to formally dissolve the Danish arm of the Bandidos motorcycle club, citing the group’s violent behavior. Under Denmark’s constitution, an organization that promotes or incites violence can be dissolved by court order, meaning that it would be illegal for the group to have clubhouses, hold meetings or wear their insignias. Justice Minister Peter Hummelgaard said at a news conference that the freedom of association was not created to protect vicious criminals. In recent years, members of the Bandidos in Denmark have been jailed for murder, attempted murder, assault and drug-related crimes.
