About This Episode
This episode of Danske Drabssager covers Den Store Rockerkrig — the war between Hells Angels and Bandidos from 1994 to 1997 — with special focus on the dramatic killing at Copenhagen Airport.
Host Per Lysholt guides listeners through the first installment of a three-part series on the biker war's most significant events. The airport killing became a turning point in the conflict, which ultimately claimed 12 lives and left more than 100 people wounded.
The episode explores the background to the escalating violence between the two rival motorcycle gangs, who were fighting for control of Denmark's criminal underworld. What began as a relatively limited conflict quickly spiraled into open warfare, marked by shootings, a bombing, and assassinations.
The podcast offers a detailed account of the events surrounding the airport killing, which shocked the Danish public and brought biker crime into the spotlight like never before. Den Store Rockerkrig forced police to develop entirely new strategies for tackling organized crime.
Danske Drabssager is available on Spotify and is aimed at listeners interested in Danish criminal history and some of the most talked-about murder cases in recent times.
