GERRY ‘The Monk’ Hutch has returned to Ireland after spending the past ten weeks living in Spain.

The 60-year-old arrived home on Monday of last week, having left Dublin for Spain on May 15th – after been cleared of the murder of the Regency hotel murder the month before.

It is understood that Hutch intends to spend a couple more weeks in Ireland, where much of his loved ones still live, with a family base in Clontarf.

A source close to the patriarch of the Hutch family said that he is “not in any way in hiding” and that some members of An Garda Siochana are aware of his return.

It is understood that the man known as ‘The Monk’ has not been issued with a new Garda Information Message (GIM) since his recent return to Dublin.

However, there has been an active threat to Hutch’s life for several years, which was at its highest level in the aftermath of the Regency Hotel shooting in 2016, which claimed the life of Kinahan cartel lieutenant David Byrne.
