The veteran criminal has said he's thinking about forming an 'independents alliance' and claims he 'isn't done with politics'
Gerry "The Monk" Hutch, acquitted of the murder of David Byrne at the Regency Hotel in 2016, is reportedly considering entering politics by potentially setting up his own political party. Following his acquittal, Hutch has been engaging with local issues in Dublin's north inner city, where he has been seen addressing community concerns like crime and anti-social behavior. His involvement in local politics has been noted by figures like Independent councillor Nial Ring, who mentioned Hutch's interest in community welfare. Despite his criminal past, including a conviction for armed robbery in the 1980s, Hutch's recent activities suggest a shift towards political engagement, possibly inspired by his brother Eddie Hutch's previous political aspirations. However, his potential political career faces significant hurdles due to his history and the ongoing feud with the Kinahan cartel.
