Gardaí predict retaliation over Gary Hutch murder

Gardaí predict that a powerful criminal outfit will seek revenge for the gangland murder of Gary Hutch in southern Spain on Thursday.

The Irish Examiner understands that a boxing match in November in Dublin is a possible flashpoint, as members of the drug trafficking syndicate suspected of being behind the murder are expected to fly over to attend.

Hutch, 34, was from a well- known family in Dublin’s north inner city and was connected to a powerful extended criminal network in the area.
