The president of one of Australia’s most feared bikie gangs has been barred from entering Bali with his family.
Kosh Radford, along with his child, wife and mother-in-law, were turned away from the Indonesian island following a tip-off from Australian intelligence sources, The Daily Telegraph reported.
Radford, the president of the Finks outlaw bikie gang, was stopped by Immigration and refused entry before he and his family were sent back home to Sydney.

‘He was rejected ‘because it is known that he is involved in a dangerous motorbike gang in Australia,’ sources told the paper.
‘Foreigners that are allowed to enter Indonesia are those who are beneficial for Indonesia,’ Ngurah Rai Immigration chief Ari Budijanto said.
‘Foreigners who are rejected from entering Indonesia are foreigners that allegedly could causes restlessness and disturb national security.’
Mr Budijanto reportedly denied the tip-off came from the Australian authorities.

Daily Mail Australia does not suggest Radford’s family was refused entry for any reason other than being in his company.
In 2009, NSW police formed taskforce Raptor with the objective to ‘target outlaw motorcycle gangs and any associated criminal enterprises’.
Last month, a 20-year veteran of the Finks motorcycle club told Daily Mail Australia he was just a ‘normal bloke’.
‘I work full time, I have a mortgage and when I get home I have to mow the lawn just like anyone else,’ he said.

‘I’m not making drugs in my back shed or acting as a stand-over man – in fact, we try not to let guys like that into the club.
‘To me a gang is a dangerous group of people, a street gang, people who fight over territory. That’s not us. We just like bikes.’
There are more than 2,000 members of the Finks club, according to the members.
