[QUOTE]The feared Black Cobra criminal gang is abandoning Sweden in the wake of a police crackdown on organized crime in the country.

According to the Sydsvenskan newspaper, the Black Cobras' decision to shutter its chapter in Skåne in southern Sweden is the gang's first step in leaving Sweden altogether.
Other Black Cobra chapters in Stockholm, Uppsala, and [B]Eskilstuna[/B] in central Sweden will likely remain operational for a time.
The move comes following efforts by police to step up their offensive against organized criminal gangs in Sweden.
Many of the Black Cobras' top leaders in Sweden are now behind bars, according to Sydsvenskan
According to Sydsvenskan the Black Cobras, a Denmark-based gang which established itself in Sweden in 2005, currently has about 200 active members.
But sources tell the paper that the members responsible for establishing the gang in Sweden have since developed "other interests" such as having children and creating families.
The fact that the gang is abandoning its trademark snake-emblazoned logo is viewed as a success story for police, according to Linda Haddemo, a spokesperson for the Malmö police's anti-gang unit.
She emphasized, however, that the police would continue to keep up the pressure on Sweden's organized criminal gangs, regardless of what logo the members are wearing.
"You have to understand that these individuals don't just disappear. They are still out there and are probably going to continue to be involved in criminal activities," she told the TT news agency.
Lars Öjelind with Sweden's National Bureau of Investigation (Rikskriminalpolisen) estimates that about 700 people in Sweden have some sort of gang affiliation.
"Some are only in the early phases of their criminal careers while others are seasoned criminals," he said.
"The shirt they are wearing doesn't matter to us in our work. For us, it's always about the individuals."
One positive outcome from the Black Cobras' decision to quit the Sweden gang scene is a possible reduction in recruitment of new members.
"Now is the time to push those who have no affiliation to move in the right direction," he said.[/QUOTE]

Fucking finally, but i'm from Eskilstuna and there are lots of Black Cobra members, specially in a famous pub in town.
I hope they will be gone forever.
First thought that came to mind reading the title was

But good to see organized crime disappear, no matter where.
Tunnel snakes rule
It's still fucking huge in Denmark.
It's so annoying, almost impossible to enjoy a night out in the capital.
In my homecity, it's fine though.
I hope they all shoot each other to death (Hell's Angels and Black Cobra, that is).

I've never encountered them, but the media in Germany always reports about gang wars between the Hell's Angels and Banditos here in Germany.
Never heard of the Black Cobra gang before.
Read about this in the newspaper today. Life is tough in Malmö.
Only 700 people associated with gangs? damnnnn.

So you thought that snakes could terrorize an entire country, let alone an entire city?

Never heard of the Black Cobra gang before.[/QUOTE]Prolly because they're only present in Denmark and Sweden, and by worldwide gang standards are pretty small. Still a fairly violent group, though i'd still prefer them to e.g. Crips.

Aren't the Hells Angels the biggest ones? Never heard of the Black Cobras before.
Even I've heard of the black cobras.

Yeah, Hell's Angels are native Danes and Black Cobra is people from other countries, mainly Middle-Eastern countries.
Both are fighting for the right to sell hash.

I always thought biker gangs were fat ass holes with skull caps and harley's.
I never knew they could look so bad ass.
