Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch today took to the streets of Dublin - despite the fact his life is under threat.
Hutch - who sensationally walked free from court on Monday - was spotted carrying bags and looking freshly groomed in the wake of the Regency Trial verdict.
Dressed in blue jeans and grey jacket, Hutch maintained his silence since becoming a free man.

Earlier today, our exclusive photos showed Hutch (60) inside a car in the Dublin area on Tuesday - a day after he was freed from prison, having been found not guilty of the Regency Hotel murder of David Byrne.
Incredibly, in spite of the threat to his life and his extremely high profile, The Monk has remained in Ireland for the time being.
And after dramatic pictures and video of him emerging from the courts in Dublin with a lengthy beard and long hair on Monday - Hutch has now got rid of both.
He now sports a freshly clean-shaven face and a short haircut, which he clearly got in the hours after he sensationally walked free - having served over a year in Wheatfield Prison on remand.
Hutch did have a clean-shaven look but long hair throughout his 13-week trial - but on Monday, after a three-month wait for the verdict, he had grown a massive grey beard.
Dressed in a green jumper and beaming from ear to ear, Hutch was seen being driven around Dublin in the late afternoon on Tuesday, minus the beard.
It comes as pals of The Monk had claimed that he did indeed intend to stay in Dublin for a few days, before jetting off to the sun.
However, many had been sceptical that he would remain in Ireland for even one more day. Pals claimed that Hutch intended to celebrate his 60th birthday before he travels off to Spain to start his new life.
