Police and border authorities in Finland prevented dozens of foreign members of the Bandidos motorcycle club from entering the country on Friday evening as the gang prepared to celebrate the 30th anniversary of its Finnish chapter in Helsinki. Helsingin Sanomat was the first to report the operation, which took place at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport and involved collaboration between the police, Border Guard, and customs officers. The action drew public attention as several passengers arriving from European cities were stopped and questioned upon landing.
