The news of the death was announced in the Helsingør court, where a case regarding a ban on Bandidos was to continue on Thursday. It was the prosecutor in the case who informed the court of the death.
Since May 22, 2024, a temporary ban on Bandidos has been in effect in Denmark. The trial in Helsingør is to decide whether the motorcycle gang can be permanently dissolved and is expected to continue until August.
According to DR, 57-year-old Michael Rosenvold, also known as "Kocken", was previously a member of a motorcycle gang called "Undertakers", which was incorporated into Bandidos in 1993. He has dedicated a large part of his life to the latter gang.
"I became national secretary, then I became vice president, and then I became president of all Europe", Michael Rosenvold explained in the Helsingør court in February, according to DR.
Bandidos' lawyer in the case, Michael Juul Eriksen, announces that Michael Rosenvold died of natural causes.
