Irish authorities have secured a European arrest warrant for Gerry Hutch, 58. Hutch, who is nicknamed ‘The Monk’ thanks to an ascetic lifestyle he picked up in prison, is alleged to be the leader of the Hutch Gang, an organization that has been at war with the Kinahan Organized Crime Group (KOCG), aka the Kinahan Cartel, since 2015.
The warrant for Monk is in connection to the death of David Byrne who was killed when masked gunmen attacked an MGM boxing weigh-in show at Dublin’s Regency Hotel on February 5, 2016. MGM, a company founded by alleged KOCG leader Daniel Kinahan, would later become MTK Global; a leading power-broker in world boxing. Byrne was an alleged top lieutenant in the KOCG.
