Helsinki District Court has handed down tough sentences to members of the Hell's Angels motorcycle gang.
Three gang members were sentenced to prison as part of a wide-ranging drugs case.
The sentences ranged up to 10 years.
During the investigation, police confiscated illicit substances with an estimated street value of nearly a million euros. This was the first organised drug crime case wrapped up by Finnish police.
