Across the Atlantic, the Great Nordic Biker War for the control of organized crime in Scandinavia took place between 1994–97. Many of the Canadian bikers not with the Hells Angels were impressed at the way that the Scandinavian branches of the Bandidos held their own against the Scandinavian branches of the Hells Angels. In June 1997, three leaders of the Rock Machine; Frédéric "Fred" Faucher, Johnny Plescio, and Robert "Tout Tout" Léger went to Stockholm to ask for support from the Swedish branch of the Bandidos, but were expelled by the Swedish police who declared that they did not want Canadian outlaw bikers in their kingdom. The "Big Four" of the world of American outlaw biking are the Hells Angels, the Outlaws, the Pagans, and the Bandidos, and most of the international biker clubs are branches of the Hells Angels, Outlaws and the Bandidos. In July 1997, Stadnick persuaded the Grim Reapers gang of Calgary to "patch over" to become Hells Angels while opening a new Hells Angels chapter in Edmonton, establishing the Hells Angels as the dominant outlaw motorcycle club in Alberta. In October 1997, the president of Bandidos USA, George Wegers, visited Quebec City to have dinner with Faucher of the Rock Machine at one of Quebec City's more expensive restaurants. The dinner ended in a fiasco, when police arrived to announce that since Wegers had a criminal record, he was unwanted in Canada and they had arrived to escort him to the airport at once to put him on the first flight back to the United States.
