Development follows a High Court decision to issue the Garda investigation team with a European Arrest Warrant seeking the apprehension of Gerry Hutch by authorities in the EU

Gardaí have a close working relationship with Spanish police and are liaising with them to locate and arrest Gerry Hutch. 

Gardaí are liaising with Spanish police to secure the arrest of crime boss Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch to face charges in connection with the Regency Hotel attack five years ago.

The military-style assault, which resulted in the shooting dead of Kinahan cartel lieutenant David Byrne, escalated the Kinahan-Hutch feud, which has been linked to 18 murders in Ireland and Spain.
