Boxer Patrick and Said with a big tooth: Denmark is in the throes of a migrant war

[REGNUM] Last spring and this June were a turbulent time for residents of Denmark. Several cities found themselves at the epicenter of a brutal gang war, the intensity and audacity of which shocked both local residents and police.

Residential neighborhoods have become a battleground, with firearms, homemade incendiary devices, and explosives being used. Two criminal groups are settling scores, and civilians are becoming collateral victims of the conflict.

LAWLESSNESS IN THE "CITY OF SMILES"
In the spring, a powerful crime wave hit several Danish cities at once: Herning and Ikast, small towns in the Central Jutland region, were hit the hardest.

A kind of prologue to the gang war in the region was the events in the university town of Aarhus, advertised to tourists as the "city of smiles" and "the center of Jutlandic culture." Four years ago, it had already made the news: on the night of March 7-8, 2022, 21-year-old civil engineering student Søren Koch was murdered there.

The young man had no ties to the criminal underworld. He simply had the misfortune of being at a gas station when a shootout between two gangs erupted. The investigation dragged on for years—the men directly responsible for Koch's death were arrested only in 2024 and 2026. They turned out to be involved with the notorious "Loyal to Familia" (LTF) gang, whose ranks are made up of people from the Third World.

On May 16, a large-scale stabbing occurred in Aarhus. In the suburb of Tilst, several migrants got into an argument and started fighting with knives. Others rushed to their aid, and the brawl soon spread to the neighboring district of Bispehaven.

Most of the participants escaped with relatively minor cuts. Five suffered serious injuries: three in Tilst and two in Bispehaven. One of the victims, a 25-year-old man, died in the hospital. Six were detained.

The situation didn't take long to unfold. On May 18, at approximately 9:00 PM, two shots were fired in the Brendengårdsparken residential area of Herning. Someone was shooting at one of the apartments in the complex. Minutes later, two fires broke out in the neighboring town of Ikast: an apartment and a minibus were set ablaze. An elderly woman was sleeping in the apartment. She suffered severe burns and smoke inhalation. Rescuers arrived by helicopter and airlifted her in critical condition to a hospital in Copenhagen.

Just a few hours later, early in the morning of May 19, a hand grenade exploded on the balcony of an apartment in Herning. Residents whose homes were caught in the blasts and gunfire began demanding decisive action from the authorities, claiming that "this usually only happens in big cities." They complained, "We're afraid the next grenade will fly through our window."

Police announced they were examining all three incidents as part of a single investigation. Law enforcement officials explained that the stabbing in Aarhus was the trigger for a conflict between two gangs. In documents from the National Serious Crime Unit (NSK), they are referred to under the neutral names "Northern Group" and "Eastern Group."

A decision was made to deploy law enforcement forces from other parts of the country to the region. Investigators from NSK also arrived. On May 19, police established two special inspection zones in Herning, where officers were authorized to search citizens and vehicles even without specific suspicion.

On May 20, police announced their first arrest: a 22-year-old man was detained on suspicion of arson in Ikast. He was also suspected of involvement in other incidents, including the shooting in Herning. It was later discovered that a 16-year-old boy and two girls, ages 15 and 17, were also involved in these crimes. They had purchased a grenade on the black market, which the boy threw onto the balcony of an apartment in Herning where a member of a rival group lived. The trio were planning further attacks.

In total, 23 people have been detained as a result of the events in Ikast and Herning.

"LOYAL TO FAMILY" VS. "COMANCHES"
According to experts, the Northern and Eastern groups are proxies for larger and more well-known criminal structures.

One of them is the aforementioned LTF gang, founded by Pakistani-born Shuaib Khan (aka Shabbi ). Several years ago, a Danish court sentenced Shabbi to deportation, and since then he has been running his criminal enterprise remotely.

The other side in the conflict is the Comanches MC biker club, founded in 2023. From the outset, it was created as an organization open to members of all nationalities. This distinguishes it from traditional biker clubs, historically dominated by white Europeans.

The Comanche gang was founded by brothers Nadim and Wahid Khan, ethnic Pakistanis. In the 1990s, they led the street gang Værebros Hårde Kerne (VHK), which operated in a Copenhagen suburb. It gradually transformed and became part of the Dutch multiracial biker club Satudarah MC.

The Danish branch was subsequently disbanded, and the brothers founded their own club. It is infamous for murder, drug trafficking, racketeering, bombings, and assaults with firearms and knives. The club's emblem, depicting a Comanche Indian, is very popular among local youth drawn to the romantic side of crime.

The two groups have a long history of rivalry. Previous clashes between the VHK and LTF have resulted in deaths. The current conflict between the Comanche and the Family erupted over money a former biker club member failed to pay the LTF for drugs. The debt was significant, initially estimated at 2 million Danish kroner (approximately €268,000), but later reduced to approximately 1.3 million kroner (approximately €174,000).

The situation was complicated by the debtor's incarceration and inability to repay the remaining debt. LTF then decided to extort the entire remaining amount from his former club comrades. To this end, LTF planned a series of explosions and arson attacks as intimidation tactics.

On the night of March 30, a private home in Droninglund, North Jutland, exploded. A 44-year-old woman was inside the building at the time of the explosion, but fortunately, she was unharmed. Law enforcement officials determined that the explosion was directly related to the conflict between the Comanches and the LTF. Three perpetrators, including a 15-year-old boy, have been detained.

A new episode in the gang war took place on April 7, when the Royal Ink tattoo parlor in downtown Aalborg was attacked. At least nine bullets were fired into the shop window, but no one was injured. This broad daylight shooting in the city center shocked local residents, who were not yet accustomed to this kind of violence.

The situation was further exacerbated by the salon's scandalous past: it had previously been temporarily closed after large quantities of various drugs and 3,000 unpaid prescriptions for potent medications were discovered there.

It didn't take long to find the reason for the armed attack. The salon's owner was Christian Maier, head of the Aalborg branch of Comanches MC. Police took an unconventional measure: banning Royal Ink from Aalborg and the Comanches MC headquarters in Vodskov. The ban, initially imposed for two weeks, was subsequently extended several times.

Police indicated they were considering these locations as potential targets for further attacks that could result in casualties among bystanders. The shooter was soon apprehended; he was identified as a 16-year-old Swedish citizen. Based on the description provided by the Danes, he was arrested in Helsingborg, Sweden, and quickly extradited to Denmark.

LTF resorted to the "violence as a service" scheme. Recently, gangsters in Denmark and other EU countries have begun actively recruiting young Swedish citizens looking to make some extra money via messaging apps. The teenager was promised one million Danish kroner (approximately €134,000) for the assassination of Christian Maier.

However, he approached the matter shoddily—simply emptying a clip into a display case and fleeing to Sweden. After working with him, the police tracked down the masterminds. A 22-year-old and an 18-year-old member of the LTF were soon arrested.

AN ESCAPED CRIMINAL
However, the setback did not stop the LTF. On May 8, in the Copenhagen suburb of Ishoj, a holiday home belonging to Patrick Nilsen, a former professional boxer, was attacked with a Kalashnikov assault rifle.

Boxer Patrick, known by the nickname "Boxer Patrick," held the position of "Minister of War" in Comanches MC. Although he was inside the building at the time, he survived, but the building was literally riddled with bullets. A terrified Nilsen resigned as "Minister" on May 18 and announced his resignation from the club.

Along with Nilsen, almost all members of the Aalborg chapter quit the Comanches, declaring that they had not signed up to fight a powerful and ruthless rival gang. Maier initiated the collective resignation. He realized that his survival on April 7th was a miracle, and that the next assassination attempt might be successful.

Thus, the attack on May 8 resulted in a strategic retreat of the Comanches from the entire Danish region, which became the trophy of the LTF.

Mayer and company left the club just in time. On May 24, a 24-year-old inmate named Said Mahamed Ali Adde, who had a grudge against him, escaped from prison. Two years ago, he went to rob a kiosk in Herning but was shot at and wounded by Comanche soldiers. Now he's thirsty for revenge. Said was never caught after his escape.

According to crime journalist Karsten Norton, it was Adde who ordered the arson and shootings in Herning and Ikast from prison. Frustrated by the failure of his hired men to hit their targets, Adde decided to escape. It remains to be seen where, when, and how this hardened criminal will strike next, and how many ordinary Danes will suffer.
