Gardai are still investigating the 'punishment' shooting of Patrick Hutch - which mob boss Daniel Kinahan was accused of carrying out.
Kinahan, who the Special Criminal Court previously heard was the alleged shooter of Mr Hutch, is already facing a series of garda investigations and a probe by the DEA and US Treasury Department. Now it has emerged in today's latest hearing of the Special Criminal Court trial of Gerry Hutch that gardai are still investigating that shooting - which Kinahan was alleged to have carried out personally.
Hutch (59) is now in the final two weeks of his trial for the murder of Kinahan cartel associate David Byrne (34) at Dublin’s Regency Hotel on February 5, 2016 - a charge he denies. Today the court heard that the Prosecution is set to wrap up its case by Thursday - with a phone analysis expert being the likely final witness in the trial which is now in its 11th week.
