In 2015 Gary Hutch was booted out of the Kinahan Organized Crime Group (aka The Kinahan Cartel). Some in the cartel thought Hutch had tipped off authorities in Ireland, leading to a massive drug bust at one of the country’s ports.
Hutch was given a severance package and told to go straight. The kind offer likely came because of who Hutch’s uncle was; Gerry ‘The Monk’ Hutch, alleged leader of the Hutch Gang and an old friend of alleged Kinahan cartel founder Christy Kinahan.
Despite accepting the offer, Hutch was killed by suspected Kinahan associates. It is thought that Christy Kinahan tried to arrange a peace summit with Gerry Hutch to avoid any reprisals.
