A French member of the Hells Angels was refused entry into Australia earlier this month. The Australian Border Force (ABF) said he was associated to the French Hells Angels and that he had links with the organised crime in Sydney. 

His 601 visitor visa was revoked as the ABF officers judged "that he presented a risk to the health, safety or good order of the Australian community, or a segment of the community".

ABF Regional Commander for WA Rod O’Donnell warned foreigners linked to organised crime: “Any non-citizen involved with a criminal organisation such as a bikie gang can expect to be identified and targeted by the ABF, have their Australian visa cancelled and then be removed from the country.”

The man was detained at the Perth Immigration Detention Centre until his removal from Australia on 19 August.
