Germany news: Police raid chapters of Gremium MC biker gang

On November 12, 2026, police in Baden-Württemberg carried out raids targeting chapters of the Gremium MC biker gang. The state interior ministry announced the operation aimed at disbanding three sub-chapters of the group based in Böblingen, Leonberg, and Ronneberg. Gremium MC's chapter known as the "Gremium MC Chapter Nomads Bosphorus Türkiye" was also singled out by security officials as a notable subgroup of the larger organization.

Described by officials as featuring members of diverse cultural backgrounds, the chapter prominently displayed the symbol of the Prussian military medal for exceptional valor, the Iron Cross, on its iconography.

The outlaw motorcycle gang, Gremium MC, has been linked to criminal activities such as extortion, drug dealing, and pimping according to state authorities. Baden-Württemberg currently has 154 active biker chapters with approximately 2,000 members in total. The organization was founded in 1972 in Mannheim, and various chapters across Germany have faced legal troubles in recent years. In 2021, another Gremium MC chapter in Heidelberg was outlawed due to suspicions of organized crime.

Police in Hanover reported an incident where three men were injured by an unknown driver in Ronneberg, with one individual suffering severe injuries. The driver fled the scene and a search was underway. Meanwhile, the IG Metall trade union announced plans for further strikes in the automotive and metalworking sectors. These updates covered the southwestern Kurpfalz and Swabian regions, where police initiated major morning raids against the biker gang.
