A 24-year-old affiliate of Hells Angels support gang AK81 has been charged with the 2008 murder that is said to have started off the gang wars in Copenhagen.

Known to the media only as MF, the man is charged with shooting 19-year-old Osman Nuri Dogan with an AK47 military rifle.

The alleged incident occurred during a drive-by shooting on 14 August 2008 in front of a pizzeria in the northwest suburb of Tingbjerg. It is widely regarded as the incident that sparked the current gang conflict, which has seen several shooting incidents in the area in recent weeks.

MF is also charged with possession of an illegal firearm as well as having arranged the murder with other “unidentified persons”.

The man was on the police radar as early as two days after the murder, but due to a lack of evidence, he was released. Last summer, police again pressed charges against him while he was serving an 18-month sentence for a violent attack.

The police’s ongoing attempts to get MF convicted of the murder of Dogan have been helped well along by a defected AK81 member known as MFP, who himself is serving a 12-year sentence for a series of attempted murders. MFP has also been a decisive factor in a case against 13 people with connections to Hells Angels and AK81, who are charged with a range of attempted murders.
