The veteran criminal Gerry Hutch, known as âThe Monkâ, is wanted in Ireland to face criminal charges over a fatal gun attack at the Regency Hotel in Dublin.
An Garda SÃochána has investigated the 2016 attack, which was linked to the Kinahan-Hutch feud and significantly escalated that feud, and a file has now been submitted to the DPP about Mr Hutchâs alleged involvement, with a direction issued to charge him.
On the basis of that direction, gardaà applied to the High Court for a European arrest warrant for Mr Hutch, which was granted. The warrant has now been circulated to law enforcement across Europe, with Mr Hutch facing arrest and extradition if located in Europe, though he can fight the process.
