Gerry Hutch “laughed” in the face of gardai during questioning after he was arrested and taken from his prison cell this week.
It’s understood The Monk repeatedly burst into peels of laughter when they put a question to him. The 58-year-old was quizzed for a number of hours at a Dublin Garda station about his suspected involvement in organised crime.
Hutch was arrested at Wheatfield prison on Wednesday and later returned to the West Dublin jail. A source said: “Every time a question was put to him, Gerry Hutch would pause, and then just burst out laughing. He shrugged off his arrest.”
