A true and chilling first hand account of the
criminal involvement of the feared Bandidos gang - the most powerful
and influential crime group currently operating in Australia and North
America today - and how one man broke their code and turned informant.
They'll come after me. I really am a dead man running.
'We are the people our parents warned us about' is the motto of the
Bandidos, one of the world's most feared outlaw motorcycle gangs. For
ten years, Steve Utah was a Bandidos insider. He arranged the security
of their clubhouses and electronic surveillance and counter
surveillance. He 'cooked' ecstasy and ice for them. He was at meetings
where interstate and overseas drug and weapons smuggling was planned.
He saw stolen military weapons, including deadly rocket launchers,
being sold. He witnessed vicious beatings, helped dump corpses.He saw
men executed in front of him.
It all became too much and, in an attempt to regain control of his
life, Utah resorted to the unthinkable: he rolled over to the Federal
Police and told them all he knew about the Bandidos. He had intimate
knowledge of every facet of the Bandidos' business in Australia and
many aspects of their activities in North America. He literally knew
where the bodies were buried.
This shocking, unflinching, tragic story is Steve Utah's confession.
He knows he is a dead man running - that inevitably the Bandido code
will be honoured and he will be silenced. But not before Utah gets his
chance to wake Australians to the looming threat in their midst - the
relentless rise of sophisticated organised crime networks inside outlaw
motorcycle gangs and the apparent inability of the Police and legal
system to deal with it.
