Spanish authorities have frozen Gerry Hutch's property assets in the country as part of an ongoing money-laundering investigation into the gangland figure, who plans to run in a byelection in Dublin next month.
The revelation comes as Hutch refused to answer questions from the Criminal Assets Bureau (CAB) in Ireland, according to reports. The CAB is investigating his assets in Ireland, while Spanish authorities are conducting a parallel probe.
Hutch, 61, is a prominent figure in organized crime in Ireland and has been linked to the Hutch gang. He was acquitted of murder in 2023 but remains under scrutiny by law enforcement.
The property freeze in Spain is part of a broader effort to combat money laundering by criminal organizations operating across borders. Hutch has denied any wrongdoing.
