Two and a half years after the shooting at the “Jokers” café in Buchheim, a member of the “Bandidos” (23) was sentenced to eight years and four months in prison at the Hagen district court. The chamber was convinced of the Hagener’s intention to kill and had convicted him of attempted murder and supporting a criminal organization, said a court spokesman.

The defendant had confessed to having shot an automatic weapon at the meeting point of the rival rocker group “Hells Angels” in January 2019. Another “Bandidos” member is said to have been involved in the alleged revenge action. Two shootings in Hagen are being tried in front of the local court together with the incident in Buchheim. (get)
