The convicted have connections to the criminal gang Loyal to Familia, banned in Denmark, and the shooting was part of their conflict with Hells Angels.

At least 20 shots were fired, with the murdered man being hit by 13.

The men are guilty of one murder and three attempted murders, according to the Copenhagen City Court (district court).

According to the court, the murder was carefully planned. A 29-year-old man is pointed out as responsible for carrying out the shooting, while the other three have assisted in various ways with the planning of the murder.

The day after the murder, the residents of Christiania announced that they had decided at a joint meeting to close the notorious hash dealer street Pusher Street. It was officially closed on April 8 this year.
