Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch back in prison cell after being quizzed by gardai over suspected organised crime offences

Gerry " Monk" Hutch Gerry Hutch Garda Prison Daniel Kinahan DPP Dublin Wheatfield

Gerry “The Monk” Hutch was back in his cell last night after being quizzed by gardai over allegations of directing a crime gang.

The 58-year-old was dramatically arrested in prison and taken for questioning over the new allegations just days before he is to go on trial for murder. Gardai are now set to put a ring of steel in place for Hutch’s trial at the Special Criminal Court next week when he will face a charge of murder over the Regency Hotel shooting of David Byrne in February 2016.

Sources have confirmed to the Irish Mirror that Hutch was quizzed for more than 12 hours on suspicion of directing a crime gang. He was taken from his cell in West Dublin’s Wheatfield Prison by specialist gardai from the National Bureau of Criminal Investigation on Wednesday morning.
