Loyal to Familia explained
Loyal to Familia is a Danish street gang.
Origins
Loyal to Familia was established in Nørrebro in Copenhagen, Denmark in 2013.[1] In the summer of 2017, the gang had a membership of 225.[2]
Prohibition
In August 2017, the Minister of Justice Søren Pape Poulsen asked the Rigspolitiet and the Attorney General to consider whether there is a basis for dissolution by judgment.[3]
On September 1, 2021, the Danish Supreme Court ruled that Loyal to Familia was unconstitutional because it lacked a legal purpose, and ordered it dissolved. The case was unusual in that it was the first time since 1924 that the Supreme Court had ordered an association dissolved.[4]
