Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch set to zig zag his way across Europe to 'avoid a bullet'

Criminal mastermind Gerry Hutch will "go dark" as he zig-zags his way across Eastern Europe ahead of landing in Spain to manage his €10million worth of assets - before fleeing once more, senior sources predict.

The Monk is set to take every measure to "avoid a bullet" as he's expected to leave his plush home in the The Paddocks in Clontarf, Dublin over the coming days and depart the country. The 60-year-old has been a free man since Monday afternoon after he was acquitted of the murder of Kinahan lieutenant David Byrne at the Regency Hotel over seven years ago.

Still at the top of the Kinahan cartel's hit list, Hutch is expected to make every attempt to avoid any attention, just over a year-and-a-half on from being among the most wanted from around the world. Senior sources have told how he must head to Spain to access his money and manage his portfolio.
