Australia

The national president of Satudarah, who is based in Melbourne, said in 2018 that chapters had been established in all Australian states, as well as a club in Canberra that had recently been patched over.[12] The Sydney chapter had been shut down several years previously.[13] In 2019, splinter groups in Western Australia were said to be bashing each other's members.[14]

Netherlands

In the Netherlands, Satudarah MC is considered extremely violent and ruthless, more so than the Hells Angels.[7][15] On 18 June 2018, the Dutch justice system announced a complete ban on the motorcycle club. The Court sentenced an immediate civil ban of all chapters and related clubs.[16] The ethnic makeup of the club includes Dutch, Ambonese, Surinamese and others.[1]
