Photograph: Colin Keegan/Collins DublinThe former home of Hutch gang member James Mago Gately was sold for €308,000 at an auction on Wednesday. The three-bedroom house, at Glin Drive, Clonsaugh, Dublin 17, was sold on foot of an action taken by the Criminal Assets Bureau (Cab). The High Court previously heard that Mr Gately spent €440,000 in refurbishments on the house despite not working since 2015. Last November, the High Court gave Mr Gately and Ms Lam, a self-employed beautician, four months to vacate the home which the High Court found to be “overwhelmingly” derived from the proceeds of crime. Cab alleges that Mr Gately has been linked to armed robberies, murders and drug dealing, but he has never been convicted of any serious offences.
