HA member convicted in thumb clipping case

HA member convicted in thumb clipping case: "member of the Hells Angels motorcycle gang was convicted today in the beating and mutilation of his ex-wife’s boyfriend – despite the victim’s lack of testimony.
In January last year the 35-year-old boyfriend was taken at knifepoint into a car by two men and driven to a deserted area in the city’s Amager district. He was then beaten into unconsciousness and awoke to find his thumb had been severed.
Yet according to Politiken newspaper, the victim testified in the Copenhagen city court today he could not remember who his attackers were. Prosecutors had jailed the man two weeks ago for withholding information, believing he knew the gang member was behind the crime but was afraid to say anything."
