The encountered in several countries supporter clubs are due to their strict submission to another motorcycle club (roughly "(MC) by the police as a" puppet clubs " puppets called -Clubs"). Members do not have to own a motorcycle and do not need to wear a patch . Because of these advantages, the AK81 Denmark club is growing faster than the Hells Angels in Denmark.

The gang was founded in 2007 to control the illegal but lucrative hashish market in Denmark. In principle, the gang members of AK81 serve as “soldiers” for the Hells Angels Denmark in violent clashes with “The International Club” and other rival street gangs, which are mainly made up of migrants . The Danish police estimated their number at around 300 in 2008. According to the official website of Hells Angels Denmark, there are currently (2011) 10 AK81 charters across Denmark.

The next day, migrants attacked AK81 members in Odense . Fourteen people were arrested in the course of the argument. The violent clashes also took place in various Danish prisons .
