# Son of Gerry Hutch denied bail on organised crime charge in Dublin Case 313. Serious organised crime, Co. Dublin **TL;DR:** Jason 'Jamie' Murphy, also known as Jason Hutch, a 37-year-old father of one and son of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch, was arrested by Spanish authorities in Lanzarote on 8 April 2026 on foot of a European Arrest Warrant issued by the Irish High Court. He was extradited to Ireland aboard a Government jet on 10 September 2026, arrested at Casement Aerodrome and charged at a special sitting of Dublin District Court with participating in or contributing to activities to facilitate the commission of a serious offence by a criminal organisation between 12 April 2016 and 29 September 2021, an offence under Section 72 of the Criminal Justice Act 2006 carrying a maximum of 15 years. He made no reply when charged and was remanded in custody to Cloverhill Prison, with a further court appearance due via videolink on 17 September. After a two-day High Court bail hearing at which his fiancée, solicitor Louise Meade, gave evidence and two independent sureties were offered, Ms Justice Siobhán Lankford denied him bail pending trial, finding he was a substantial flight risk for a trial expected in about 12 months. **Stage:** In court.
