Swedish Hells Angels Claim Sick Benefits for Depression
2006-02-25
They might not look like sensitive sorts, but seven out of ten Hell’s Angels in Stockholm are on sick benefits with depression, Stockholm’s police commissioner Carin Götblad told the press on Monday.
"Øh, Spike! I'm sø depressed!"
"Me, tøø, Butch!"
Now the doctor who signed most of the menÂ’s sick notes could be struck off the medical register.
"Right. Thøse guys're depressed."
"Ja, sure! They løøked depressed to me!"
Doctor Roman Nowik is at the centre of an enquiry announced on Monday into members of the biker gang, which has about 30 members in Stockholm. It is believed that many of those on benefits were working at the same time. Police and officials at the Swedish social insurance administration (Försäkringskassan) say they plan to work together more closely to find proof that the bikers were cheating the system.
"Yøuse gøt nuttin' on us, cøppers! Nuttin'!"
Nowik told Dagens Nyheter on Wednesday that the Hell’s Angels members he had seen were not faking. “They are depressed – in many cases suicidal – and have not tricked me. I am an expert on depression,” he told the paper.
"Ånd whåt måkes yøu ån expert?"
"Dø I løøk håppy?"
But a report in December from the National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen) said that Nowik had often failed to provide medical evidence when signing sick notes. Meanwhile, officials at the insurance administration have said that announcing the investigation into the HellÂ’s Angels publicly will make the probe more difficult.
"They're øn tø us, Butch!"
"Ååårrr! We gøttå gø tø grøund, Spike!"
Christoffer Franzén at Försäkringskassan said the public announcement was “unfortunate”.
"Ja, sure! Very unførtunåte!"
Dagens Nyheter reported that many police were upset that a previously secret investigation had been put into the public domain. But Inspector Christer Nilsson said that the police had “made the operative decision that it was not wrong,” to announce that the Hell’s Angels were being investigated.

#5  Nordic bikers are actually a staple of local organized crime, from what I understand, they're not a quaint odditiy.
In the mid 90's, they used rocket launchers and explosives to blow up each others HQ and nightclubs.

Still, I agree, Bandidos, Hell's, Rock Machines and the like are usually associated with the never-ending highways of the USA, not with the old continent's small roads.
Same "clubs" in Europe, btw, there are some RM in the south of France I think, and one famous 80-90's skinhead, Serge Ayoub/"Batskin" is now a parisian Hell's, and was convicted for traffiking metamphetamine a few years ago, he's out by now I believe.

IIRC, nordic bikers don't ride bikes that much, climate is too cold. Bikeless bikers, ha.

#1  LOL! Depression is prolly the easiest scam these guys ever pulled. Ja, sure, prove I ain't depressed, lol, er, I mean *sniff*... Just think of gang rapes as "group".

The more stories I read about Scandinavia, the more apparent it becomes that they're evolving into pluperfect morons. A whole new level of suckers and zoomers. The socialist tag is just cover.
