It is the first ban for the club, which operates 470 chapters in 56 countries, The Guardian reports.

“The Hells Angels is a danger to the public order,” a Utrecht court ruled.

One of the reasons it imposed the ban was because it was “a one-percenter club, a club of outlaws”.

In 2017, the same court banned the Hells Angels’ rivals, the Bandidos.

And last year Dutch judges also banned Satudarah, a domestic club, saying it had been involved in criminal activity for a number of years “including violence against other motorcycle clubs, manufacturing and trafficking of narcotics, illegal possession of weapons, and extortion”.

It added: “The Hells Angels’ profile is that of the largest and most powerful motorbike club. They believe other clubs should listen to them and that leads to long-running conflicts.”
