Many Hells Angels have engaged in various criminal enterprises. These typically include drug trafficking, contract killings, and arms traffficking. Some Angels collaborate with [[American Mafia]] families to transport drugs, and they have also laundered their money from these enterprises into legitimate businesses. In addition, they frequently engage in turf battles with other motorcycle gangs, including bombing their clubhouses. A notable example of this was the Great Nordic Biker War of the 1990s in which the Angels bombed Bandidos clubhouses in Denmark and Norway using grenade launchers stolen from the military. Sometimes the Hells Angels clash with non-motorcycle gangs over drug trafficking, such as in Denmark where they used a support gang, AK81, to drive Turkish and other immigrant gangs out of their territory. | Many Hells Angels have engaged in various criminal enterprises.
