Above The Law: How Outlaw Motorcycle Gangs Became The World’s Biggest Criminal Empire

TRUE CRIME AUSTRALIA

The world’s most successful criminal empire is now being operated on a massive scale by outlaw motorcycle gangs, an empire that is growing in power, reach and ruthlessness by the day. Their international empire is both sophisticated and brutal. It is also both strategic and opportunistic, where they cannot dominate, they broker alliances. Above the Law investigates how it all started: the turf wars that were fought, the deals that were done, and how the sea of cash that was earned is now being legitimised. It also reveals how law enforcement at an international level is losing the battle against the gangs.
