<p>Irish mob boss Gerry Hutch is back in his home city of Dublin, Ireland, after his extradition from Spain on Wednesday. The 58-year-old longtime underworld figure appeared in court where he was charged with the murder of rival gangster David Byrne.</p>
<p>Byrne was shot by masked gunmen at the Regency Hotel in 2016 during the weigh-in event for the WBO European lightweight title fight between boxers Jamie Kavanagh and Antonio João Bento. One of the men behind the event was mob boss Daniel Kinahan, who is part of one of Europe’s biggest drug cartels.</p>

</ul>
<p>The gunmen were dressed up as police officers and were there to kill Kinahan. They killed Byrne, one of Kinahan’s top men, instead. Several others were wounded.</p>
<p>The shooting was part of a long-running feud between the Hutch and Kinahan gangs that has seen dozens of gangsters shot and killed as a result. Both bosses frequently stay abroad – in Spain or Dubai – to steer clear of the violence.</p>

<p>It was in Spain where Hutch was finally <a href="https://gangstersinc.org/blog/irish-mob-boss-gerry-the-monk-hutch-arrested-in-spain-charged-wit" target="_blank">arrested</a>. He had become a fugitive earlier this year after he was officially charged with the murder of Byrne. Last month, police caught him while he planned to eat at a restaurant in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol.</p>
<p>Appearing in court Hutch only said one word: “Yes.” It was in response to the judge who asked him to confirm his identity, <a href="https://www.irishtimes.com/news/crime-and-law/gerry-hutch-appears-in-court-charged-with-regency-hotel-murder-1.4686737" target="_blank">the Irish Times reported</a>.</p>
<p>Hutch’ trial is set to begin on October 3, 2022.</p>

<p>Irish crime boss Gerry “The Monk” Hutch has been arrested in Fuengirola on the Costa del Sol in Spain on Thursday. A European Arrest Warrant was issued in April charging him with involvement in the brazen murder of gangster David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in Dublin in 2016.</p>
<p>Hutch had been a fugitive ever since the arrest warrant was issued. He was using a Spanish ID card when he was arrested at a restaurant where he had just ordered a drink and was seated at an outdoors table.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Come at the King</strong></span></p>
<p>The Regency Hotel shooting was one of the most audacious hits in Irish history. That day, February 5, the weigh-ins for the boxing match for the WBO European lightweight title between Jamie Kavanagh and Antonio João Bento took place at the hotel. Both fighters were scheduled to fight each other the next day at the Clash of the Clans at Dublin’s National Boxing Stadium.</p>
<p>At the weigh-ins several leading figures of Ireland’s Kinahan Clan were present, including the group’s boss Daniel Kinahan. It was for him that several individuals wearing masks, flak jackets and helmets and armed with AK-47s entered the hotel and began firing several shots.</p>

</ul>
<p>As screams echoed through the hotel and the crowd ran for the nearest exit, the attackers began scanning for targets. Kinahan had already been ushered out of the hotel by his bodyguards, but one of his close associates, David Byrne, was within range and shot to death by the hitmen. He was 32.</p>
<p>All attackers managed to escape from the crime scene.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>The Kinahan-Hutch feud</strong></span></p>
<p>Authorities were quick to realize this was the boldest act of violence in what was to be dubbed the Kinahan-Hutch feud, a deadly war between two factions of the Dublin underworld. On one side there were the Kinahan Clan led by father Christy and son Daniel, on the other was longtime gangster Gerry Hutch, who had been active in organized crime for several decades.</p>

</ul>
<p>The feud began with the killing of Gary Hutch, the nephew of Gerry, on September 24, 2015, who was shot dead in a private apartment complex in Miraflores near Marbella in Spain. This set off a series of tit-for-tat revenge murders.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:14pt;"><strong>Charges (dropped)</strong></span></p>
<p>Gary’s brother Patrick Hutch was charged with the David Byrne killing in May of 2016, but charges were dropped in February of 2019. Now, authorities view Gerry as the mastermind behind the gangland slaying. Whether the charges will stick to the slick 58-year-old mob boss remains to be seen.</p>
