Garda fears of a 'planned and premeditated' revenge gangland attack

Gardaí believe the Hutch gang are taking their time before they carry out a “planned and premeditated” revenge attack on the rival Kinahan cartel.

Senior sources said that leaders of the gang will consult with criminal associates, including in Britain and Europe, as part of their preparations to kill again.

The Hutch gang has its core in Dublin’s north inner city, but boasts long-established connections with serious gangs abroad.
