He was questioned about the beating and shooting of an addict in June 2008, but never charged.

In July 2013 he was sentenced to two years imprisonment with one year suspended for threatening a bouncer with a hammer after the bouncer had ejected him from a pub in Dublin city centre.

In September 2015, Gary Hutch was shot dead in Marbella, which began the Hutch–Kinahan feud.
