The boss of Australia's biggest outlaw motorcycle club wants the High Court to overturn a decision by the Federal Government to strip him of his visa, a move that has left him stranded on the other side of the world.

"I'm innocent, I know that. I've done no wrong by nobody, but they've shut the door on me and thrown me out of the country," he said.
Law enforcement agencies have told the ABC that the stranding of Mr Vella in Malta has disrupted the Rebels and their operations.

"There has been no person to step up and take over the leadership role. I would say the leadership structure is in disarray," Detective Superintendent Deb Wallace of the NSW Gangs Squad said."
