Gerry Hutch arrested in Spain over shooting that occurred at Kinahan run boxing show

Last week Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch was arrested in Spain’s Costa del Sol after a Europe-wide Interpol warrant called for his capture in relation to the 2016 Regency Hotel Shooting (per Irish Times). That attack targeted a boxing weigh-in show in Dublin that resulted in the death of David Byrne, an alleged top lieutenant in the Kinahan Organized Crime Group. It is believed that the target of the attack was Daniel Kinahan, the alleged leader of the KOCG and the founder of the boxing promoter that is now known as MTK Global.

Reports state that Hutch was arrested in a joint operation by Irish and Spanish police, who had been conducted surveillance on the 58-year-old for months.
