Garda investigation into former Gsoc officer widens

Gsoc has ordered an external examination of its systems and processes, to start once the Garda investigation is complete.

Detectives are widening their investigation into the suspected leaking of confidential information by a former investigator in the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission ( Gsoc) to the Hutch crime gang.

In a fast-moving investigation this week, gardaí initially spoke to the officer on Monday, April 24, after he voluntarily agreed to talk to them in relation to his presence at a party attended by Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch on the night of his acquittal for the Regency Hotel murder (Monday, April 17).
