Quote from the article:
The Comanchero are one of 17 other outlaw motorcycle gangs raising funds to challenge the NSW government's controversial legislation which was introduced after the deadly brawl at Sydney Airport last year. Members of both the Comanchero and the Hells Angels will face court this week over the brawl in March 2009 in which a Hells Angels associate, Anthony Zervas, died. Police announced yesterday the ''Hells Angels Motorcycle Club in NSW'', one of the state's smaller clubs, would be their first target. Police said they would allege its 45 to 50 members had committed crimes from murder to drug trafficking. But while police filed about 30 folders of intelligence about members' activities in the Supreme Court yesterday, they said much of the information would remain unknown to the public. The club - representing about 3 per cent of NSW bikies - was selected because police believed they had enough information to succeed with the application. NSW police would not confirm if other clubs would be targeted. Assistant Commissioner David Hudson said police would like to see the laws tested, but were ''in a position to move forward if required''. |
