Loyal to Familia

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]
