"Hells angels" take Yosifov under their wing

because of his stable position at the flesh trafficking on international level, a high positioned employee from the Internal ministry declared for "168 hours" weekly. At this time Yosko pulls the wires of the biggest Bulgarian pimp groups in The Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.
His climb through the ladder of "Hells Amgels" hierarchy starts from the lowest level, called "circles". Just for several years he reaches the impressive position of forth person in the structure. "The business with the prostitution ran so far by Yosko is yet in the hands of his ex subordinates. Most of them are his friends from Sliven town", a special police officer explains. "The pimps from Sliven report to the Angels, but Yosko secures them protection. The bosses of the rocker band open Yosko the gates to the higher levels.", the source added.
Bulgarian and Dutch cops suspect he has supplied the traffic of amphetamines and heroin between Western Europe and the Near East. One of the first trusted Yosko's friends are Vassil Kachikov - The long guy and Svetoslav Mitev - Sokacha. Both of them are pimps but after the meeting with Yosko they turn their backs to the procuring and sink into the drug business. In very complicated situations

the mugs around Yosko present themselves as a cops.    

They identify themselves with cards marked "Employees of the Internal Ministry, that have worked and are still working against the organized criminality.", an association, registered in Sofia in 1997.   
Palestinian Muhtar Mir also joins to the group of Yosko, The long guy and Sokacha. The same person testifies in the case in The Netherlands claiming he is kidnapped and maltreated by Arabians after Yosko has cheat him out of his  money and 30 kilos of heroin. The investigators from The Netherlands and Bulgaria have at their disposal copies of the photo albums of Yosko, Vassil Kachikov - The long guy and Svetoslav Mitev - Sokacha and other tattooed subjects around them. "The pictures show they've lived as flying Dutchmen.", floridly express himself a Bulgarian policeman. They cross Europe over hill and dale. They trot about Latin America like grasshoppers. They come into view at Aruba Island also. The International services for fight against the drugs have information they have contacted directly with the Columbian drug cartels."  

"Hells angels" against Sreten Yosich and Samokovetza

The members of the rocker band "Hells Angels" are presuming, insolent and are at endless war for predominance. The angels grip as vultures on Serbian-Albanian group in The Netherlands. This group competes with them in the international traffic of cocaine, heroin and amphetamines. One of the bosses of the Serbian-Albanian group in Amsterdam is the terrorist Sreten Yosich. In the end of '90s Serbian-Albanian group and Yosich are working together with the deceased Konstantin Dimitrov - Samokovetza and a popular Bulgarian contrabandist. The Bulgarians secure the free transportation of the consignments through the Bulgarian territory. Some drug consignments though failed to reach their destinations and become a cause of a fatal confrontation between the Serbian-Albanian group and "Hells angels". Sam Kepler, the most powerful mafia boss in Scandinavian countries who partner with "Hells angels" manages two times to filch big cocaine consignments from Sreten Yosich directly from Columbia. The Serbian-Albanian group strikes back. Dutch policemen and public prosecutors claim that Sreten Yosich is personally engaged with the elimination of "the flying" boss.

A fly to the outer world

In October 2000 Sam Kepler is shot with an automatic pistol in front of his home. The marksman has hidden his weapon in his umbrella. Later hundreds of rockers with "Hells Angels" signs on their leather jackets escort the coffin of Sam Kepler in his last earthly pilgrimage. While "the satanic birds" are crying, Sreten Yosich disappeared as a ghost from The Netherlands. "Interpol" traces him with a red ticket throughout Europe for murders and drug trafficking.
The Serbian mafia guy is in Bulgaria yet. He hides himself under the wing of Kosio Samokovetza - who is inaccessible in Bulgaria at these days. Konstantin Dimitrov - Samokovetza becomes Yosich's secret contact person. Both of them are running the business of the Serbian-Albanian group through Bulgaria, a source from the Internal Ministry says.  

 

Overtrumps with hits under the middle

"Hells Angels" rocker band wants a revenge for Sam Kepler's death and orders a death sentence for the Serbian terrorist Sreten Yosich. According to the Dutch policemen this happens with the permission of the present boss of the "cherubim from hell" Vilem Holiider. The vendetta starts with strikes around the Serbian mafia guy. The Boss of the Amsterdam orders the shooting down of the Egyptian drug baron Burzum, who is a close associate of Sreten Yosich. In order to strike back the Serbian engages killers. He orders them to finish his enemy - the boss Vilem Holiider. Bulgarian and Dutch policemen receive operational information for the forthcoming murder. This way on 20 June, 2002 the Sebian mafia guy Sreten Yosich is arrested in a police ride of National Service for Fight against the organized Criminality at St. Nedelia square in the heart of Sofia. With his capture the Bulgarian anti-mafia guys and Interpol outstrip two events with a detonating end. The first one is Sreten Yosich's vendetta against "Hells Angels" boss and the second - the possibility the Serbian mafia guy to become a victim of the rockers because of the murder of Sam Kepler.

The target of the flying avengers

After the extradition of Sreten Yosich, the Balkan cooperation between Kosio Samokovetza and Serbian-Albanian group continues. Furthermore - he always organizes more frequent shuttles to the country of tulips and prepares his permanent stay over there. In the mean time he started a conflict with Bulgarian contrabandist. He had been his partner until a little while ago in the business with Sreten Yosich and the Serbian-Albanian group. After the rupture each one of them set off to different directions. The contrabandist also comes to The Netherlands just like Kosio, but he already search for contacts with the enemy camp - "Hells Angels". At this time they are in the heat of a serial gangster war with competitors, because of a missing consignment of 293 kilos of cocaine. In the beginning of December 2003, just few days before Samokovetza's execution, the biggest police action against "Hells Angels" is implemented. Mass raids in Dutch clubs located in Amsterdam, Rotherdam, Westport, Kampen, Haarlem and Northcouts, visited by "Hells Angels" members', start. 57 rockers are arrested. The action leaded by The Federal Investigation Bureau an International Special Services had been prepared for almost two years. In this period all the headquarters of "Hells Angels" are watched closely. In that time the competitors of Samokovetza - Yosko, Sokacha, Ervin Vreker and Vasko - The Long guy do not suspect they are already into the light spot. Their telephone numbers and addresses in Amsterdam are already under observation around the actions connected with The Angels.

The saga of the flying avengers - blood, victories and disgraces

The rocker band is founded in 1948 in California, USA. The angels take the name of the film of the same name dedicated to the Second World War. They strengthen their position as a movement in '60s during past century. They profess the ideas of superiority of the white race. The tattoos and the signs on their cloths symbolize the fine line between life and death, between good and bad. At the early stage of its existence the members of "Hells Angels" are racing with motors on the roads. Wimen are not allowed to be members of the organisation. "Hells Angels" contact girls just for fun. Sony Barger is the founder of the club. He spends 10 years in prison in The Netherlands. Later he is set free and dies in an accident while rides his motorcycle. "Hell Angels" firstly establish clubs in The States, then in Western Europe and Great Britain. At the present Angels had spread wings over all continents, except Asia. The leather cloths and the powerful motorcycles come into use only at the time of their meetings and parties of the brothers by arms all over the world. The admittance in the band is extremely restrictive. The beginners start as "ENCIRCLEMENT". After that they grow up in a four level hierarchic structure, depending on their merits for the organization.    
"Hells Angels" are mentioned for the first time in 1969. The band is hired to guard a concert of Rolling Stones on an air landing place near Altamount highway in California. When the rock band starts to play "Under my thumb" song, the crowd goes crazy. The enormous tattooed boys from "the hell" step in to chill out the passions. An Afro-American is killed in the turmoil. The rockers fall into the spotlight for the first time and in the police chronicles. After this case hundreds arrests of the members of the band, investigations for murders, drug traffic and money laundry are done. The annual turnover of the "Hells Angels" activity just in USA is estimated on around 2 billions of dollars, a non-official data state. They consider themselves as unapproachable ones.              

 

 


The Amsterdam's bands

The mafia plot against the unapproachable ones

"Hells Angels" are living in a never-ending war with international groups. As pirates they pinch a drug of their competitors. This way they discredit them in front of the cartels. Rivers of blood flow each time when consignment vanishes into thin air.   
In December 2003 when Samokovetza is killed, the Angels are in the middle of the serial gangster war. There are firings between them and their competitors - Serbian-Albanian mafia, the rocker groups "Bandidos", "The Mongols" and "Outlaws". "Bandidos" is the second largest criminal organizations riding motors with 2100 rockers in Europe, USA and Australia. Their symbols are a Mexican wearing a sabre and a revolver. The band is investigated for arm and drug traffic and also for distribution of drugs. The band cooperates with the rocker band "Outlaws" against The Angles of evil. "Outlaws" members count 1500 persons in North America, Great Britain, Italy and Germany. The "Mongols" also rise in arms against The Angels. This rocker band is relatively small - 500 members in USA, Europe and Asia.

The four bands suspect that Angels has stolen from them 300 kilos of cocaine, received from Columbian drug cartels. The stung ones accuse The Angels about the offshoot and sharpen knives against them. In December 2003 a shooting between Angels and "The Mongols" breaks out, says a source closed to the police in Amsterdam for 168 hours weekly. The victims were discovered three months later.
On 14 February last year a small river nearby Erh town, wash ashore the bodies of Pol de Vriis (54), Kor Painenburg (33) and Serge Vagnar (34). Both three of them are "Hells Angels" members. The "Mongols" shoot them into boats.
Federal Investigation Bureau and International Special Services start mass raids against the biggest rocker band in the world. Many illicit arms and huge quantity of synthetic drugs are found. 57 members of "Hells Angels" are arrested in Europe and USA. Behind the bars is put also Vilem Holiider - The Dutch boss of "Hell Angels". Later he is released. He is still a leader of the rockers with the drown bodies. The international investigation against The Angels for production and distribution of methamphetamines, traffic of arms, drugs and prostitution, continues even at this very moment.

 

 

The tattoos of "Hells Angels"

The tattoos of "Hells Angels" members, some of them coincide with those painted on the body of Yosko Yosifov - Yosko, symbolizing alliance with this community. This is the interpretation of the official sign of the rocker band - a skull with iron wings. This symbol adorns the leather jackets and the backs of the members of the band. The skull is the most favourite graphical image of the people who admire the hard rock music. 
The Gothic characters are also presented over the bodies of the rockers, members of "Hells Angels". The dragons are with outspread wings, divinities from the Celt folklore and half-humans, half-animals, symbolizing the thin line between live and death. The specific arms for the antiquity like maces and broad sward are also images frequently met among the members of "Hells Angels". They personify the primary rocker's power. Many of them had tattooed also cobwebs as symbol of the organization spread all over the world. Support 81 is another specific tattoo for "Hells Angels". 81 is the digital signification of the serial line of the first letters from the abbreviation HA - "Hells Angels". The leader among the tattoo artist who makes the tattoos of "Hells Angels" members is Davy Jones. His name means evil ghost, who lives at the bottom of the ocean.
