Australia - IF EVER there was any doubt that outlaw motorcycle gangs are becoming more sophisticated and organised in their illegal activities, today's revelations of links to an Australian Federal Police officer with top secret clearance should come as an alarming wake-up call.
While police investigators could not prove secret police intelligence was passed on, the officer's access to more than 4000 files, including some relating to bikie gangs, suggests a worrying possibility that some of their efforts to crack down on these groups may have been compromised.
The involvement of these gangs in organised crime is well documented, in particular in the drug trade. The shocking bashing and stabbing attack of Hells Angels associate Anthony Zervas in front of dozens of witnesses at Sydney Airport in 2009 demonstrated the callous disregard these gangs have for the rule of law.
