Thirty-two Hells Angels who settled in Mallorca between 2009 and 2013 have been given sentences of up to two years. However, mitigation was applied to all defendants who had accepted the charges. This was on account of the time it took for the case to come to trial; it started in January this year. Fines have been imposed instead.
