Allegations include high-level "infiltration" of An Garda Síochána
A son of Gerry "The Monk" Hutch has been denied bail pending his trial for facilitating organised crime.
Allegations against Jason Murphy include high-level "infiltration" of An Garda Síochána.
The 37-year-old accused, also known as Jason Hutch, with an address at The Paddocks, Clontarf in Dublin, has been in custody for two months, after being extradited from Lanzarote.
The High Court in Cloverhill was told his goal, if granted bail, would be to remain in Ireland.
However, Judge Siobhan Lankford held he was a flight risk.
Mr Murphy is accused of participating in or contributing to activities to facilitate the commission of a serious offence by a criminal organisation or any of its members.
The judge also heard the case was linked to the pending Special Criminal Court trial of retired Garda Superintendent John Murphy and three serving but currently suspended gardaí.
She said the case was strong and created a real incentive for the accused to flee the jurisdiction.
The DPP has decided Mr Murphy will face trial at a higher level. However, the venue wasn't stated.
