Additionally, the gang is suspected of orchestrating the 2009 heist of the Bank of Ireland branch in central Dublin, resulting in the theft of millions of euros, most of which remains unrecovered.
Detective Superintendent Dave Gallagher of the Drugs and Organised Crime Bureau described the Hutch gang as operating with "close family members" and having a "patriarchal system" based on loyalty and financial gain.
The Hutch Organised Crime Group has expanded its operations and amassed considerable wealth, enabling them to acquire a vast portfolio of properties in Ireland, United Kingdom, Spain, Bulgaria, and Turkey.
As reported by the Irish Independent, the individual, known for minor criminal activities, was captured on CCTV depositing a certain sum of money into a cryptocurrency automated teller machine (ATM) in recent weeks.
Significantly, many of the functional ATMs are allegedly being used by not only the Hutch Gang but also the Kinahan Cartel and other criminal groups operating in Ireland, all attempting to leverage cryptocurrencies for money laundering.
This modus operandi has been noticed particularly among criminal associates with close ties to the Hutch Gang, even when located abroad, as they access cryptocurrency deposited in cash to accounts in Ireland.
