Gardai have now launched an investigation into a GSOC officer who is alleged to have attended a party with Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch.
GSOC has formally asked An Garda Siochana to carry out a probe into claims that their officer, who has now retired, attended a “welcome home” party for Hutch following his acquittal of the Regency Hotel murder of David Byrne. The officer was facing an internal investigation into the claims but resigned during the week — meaning he did not have to engage with the probe.
Gerry Hutch may also be spoken to as part of the investigation. In a statement, gardai confirmed the probe, saying: “An Garda Siochana has today started an inquiry to examine whether there was any criminality involved relating to a former GSOC investigator.”
