There are further fears for the safety of the ex-GSOC officer at the centre of the Hutch party probe after his name was publicly disclosed by a foreign news outlet.
It is understood the man has left his north Dublin home, close to where Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch was living following his release from prison on Monday, April 17. This paper broke the story that the senior GSOC investigator had told colleagues he attended a ‘welcome home’ party for Hutch after he was found not guilty of the murder of David Byrne.
This bombshell led to him resigning and GSOC launching an internal probe and subsequently referring it to gardai. The Garda National Crime Bureau is investigating the man, who was arrested last week on suspicion of leaking confidential information over a period of time but released without charge.
