Title: Supporting a Deadly Shooting: Family Faces Sentencing for Aiding Hells Angel's Attempted Murder in St. Pauli
For nearly seven years, the devastating shots fired at a Hells Angels biker boss in the heart of St. Pauli have left a lasting impact. Now, his would-be assassins' family members face the consequences.
The prosecution is demanding time behind bars for the mother and two sisters, all linked to the attempted murder of the then biker boss in 2018. The three women—aged 57, 37, and 36—are accused of wanting a piece of the action, with charges including aiding and abetting attempted murder, and causing serious bodily harm.
A fateful summer night played out as the biker sat in his Bentley at a traffic light on Millerntorplatz. A car pulled up beside him, and a passenger sprayed the vehicle with bullets. The then 38-year-old Hells Angel was left paralyzed, forever scarred.
The main perpetrator, the shooter, and the father of the instigator have already served their time, with sentences ranging from life imprisonment to extended prison terms. The attack was triggered by a petty feud between rival motorcycle gangs, the Mongols and the Hells Angels.
But the saga didn't end there. A year-long trial at the Hamburg Regional Court implicates the mother and her two daughters. The 57-year-old Afghan woman and her older daughter are accused of actively helping find the victim and discussing the crime over the phone. The youngest daughter, allegedly, hid the getaway car in her home's underground garage after the incident.
The prosecution demands five years and ten months for the mother, three years and ten months for the older daughter, and two years and four months for the youngest daughter. A verdict is still pending.
