The trial of 49 alleged members of a criminal gang linked to the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club began at a packed session of Spain's high court, almost a decade after police clamped down on the group's activities on the resort island of Mallorca

The defendants face a slew of criminal charges that include extortion, money laundering, drug trafficking, pandering and unlawful possession of firearms.

Most defendants arrived by foot or cab to the courthouse, with no sign of the distinctive heavyweight cruiser motorbikes the gang is known for. Hanebuth appeared with a closely shaved scalp, a goatee and a jacket covering tribal tattoos on his forearms. He appeared relaxed as the charges against him were read out.

The gang was lured to Mallorca by the island's geographical location, the existence of brothels and opportunities to engage in money laundering and drug trafficking, the special prosecutor against organised crime said in the indictment.
