Mongols (Motorcycle Club) (Paperback)

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Mongols Motorcycle Club, sometimes called the Mongol Nation or Mongol Brotherhood, is a "one-percenter" motorcycle gang and organized crime syndicate. The club is headquartered in southern California and was originally formed in Montebello, California in 1969 by Hispanic Vietnam War veterans who were refused entry to the Hells Angels because of their race. Law enforcement officials estimate there are approximately 500 to 600 full patched members. The Mongols' main presence is in southern California, with charters in 14 states, as well as international charters in Germany, Italy, Australia, and Mexico. The Mongols have a long standing friendship with the Outlaws MC. The Mongols members have had long-running confrontations with law enforcement in such areas as drug dealing (especially methamphetamine), money laundering, robbery, extortion, firearms violations, murder and assault, among other crimes.
