Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch has been arrested in Spain, in connection with the Regency Hotel shooting.
The Monk was found by police in the Fuengirola area yesterday afternoon, after a European Arrest Warrant was issued in April.
His extradition was sought by gardai investigating the murder of Kinahan gang member, David Byrne, in the Regency in 2016.
A group of men - dressed as armed Gardaí - opened fire at a boxing weigh-in.
David Byrne was shot dead and two other men were injured.
Irish Independent journalist Paul Williams says The Monk's arrest follows a long hunt for him.
"Gerry Hutch has officially been wanted on foot of a European Arrest Warrant for his extradition back to Ireland to face charges arising from the Regency Hotel attack - specifically the murder of criminal David Byrne."
