Former Hells Angels leader killed in Iran. He wanted internationally. Among other things, for murder and attempted murder.

• Former Hells Angels leader killed in Iran.

• According to the official report, he died in a private argument.

• However, Iranian exile media speculate that he was the victim of an Israeli assassination attempt because he was a member of the Revolutionary Guard.

An internationally wanted ex-leader of the Hells Angels rock club has been killed in Iran. As reported by the Iranian news agency Tasnim on Tuesday, Ramin Y., who is said to have lived temporarily in North Rhine-Westphalia, died in a personal conflict, according to initial information.

Ramin Y. was once active in the Bandidos, but at the end of 2012 he and some Bandidos colleagues defected to the Hells Angels, so a brutal rocker war broke out on the Lower Rhine. Y. was also the prime suspect in the case of a murdered and disfigured rocket whose arm was floating in the harbor of Duisburg Bay.

Suspected Revolutionary Guard

At the same time, Tasnim rejected reports that Iran’s arch-enemy Israel was responsible for the man’s killing. Iranian exile media previously reported that Y. was said to be the target of an assassination attempt as a suspected member of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard. Recently, the enemy countries of Iran and Israel were on the verge of war. There was no direct confirmation from Israel at first.

The dead man is believed to be the man named by Düsseldorf’s Higher Regional Court in December as the person responsible for an arson attack on a Bochum school that was actually intended to target a nearby synagogue. The court was convinced that the crime was committed by a state agency in Iran. Y. was also the prime suspect in the case of a murdered and disfigured rocket whose arm was floating in the harbor of Duisburg Bay.
