Hutch Gang Leader Nabs Himself in Spain

0:00On April 9th, Spanish cops napped an alleged leader of the Hutch Crime gang yesterday in Lanzarote, and he's bowing to battle extradition back to Ireland. They dropped footage this morning showing him cuffed and walked out by an undercover officer plus two Irish guard eye who flew in just for the takedown. Police called him a key figure in the gang's intel unit, handling cash flows with his dead, and they grabbed him only 24 hours after an alert, hit the European network. This guy's been on the run, but tips put him on Spain's radar, sparking a join-up that pinned him down fast in the town of T.S. Today he faced a judge via video from Lanzarote, flat out rejected the handover, and got remanded to Tahitch prison pending the fight. That means another herring's coming, which will drag things out but probably won't stop his trip home. Word is the Madrid court overseeing this, we'll decide soon, keeping the pressure on as Ireland waits for answers on this gang heavyweight.
