PHILADELPHIA - A veteran Philadelphia police officer has been suspended with the intent to dismiss after investigators say he gave false statements and testimony in a gun case last year.

Officer Daniel Levitt was arrested Thursday on charges of perjury, unsworn false statements and official oppression. In 2021, authorities say the Philadelphia Police Department’s Internal Affairs unit conducted an audit of city-wide arrests of individuals for violations of the Uniform Firearms Act. MORE HEADLINES: The audit prompted an investigation into an arrest made by Levitt on April 28, 2021.

During that investigation, authorities determined that Levitt, a 12-year veteran of the force, violated department policy. Commissioner Outlaw announced Thursday that she has suspended Levitt for 30 days with the intent to dismiss at the end of the suspension. "It never feels good to learn that one of our own has been charged with a crime," said Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw.

COLOMBO (News 1st); SriLankan Airlines issued a clarification with respect to speculation circulating on social media with respect to SriLankan Aircraft uplifting printed material to Entebbe International Airport in Uganda last year. SriLankan Airlines on Thursday (14) said it received an air cargo order to transport about 102 tons of printed material from Colombo to Entebbe International Airport in Uganda in February 2021.The consignment was purely commercial in nature and brought in much-needed foreign revenue to the airline and country at the time. SriLankan wishes to emphasize that this cargo order was undertaken for commercial reasons only, it added.The details of the cargo consignment were withheld due to contractual obligations as per air cargo industry standards said the statement.However, in response to concerns raised following the statement the national carrier tweeted to say that the Ugandan government ordered Ugandan currency notes from a global security printer who operates several factories worldwide, including one in Sri Lanka, exporting to global markets.It went on to note that SriLankan aircraft which were underutilized at this time (2021) during the pandemic were chartered by a UK-based freight forwarder.What is now being misunderstood is the Airline Pilots Guild’s proud announcement of this achievement of using unutilized pax aircraft, it added.
