A Northern Ireland police officer faces prosecution for allegedly creating a false threat to secure witness anonymity during a "Troubles" event.

A Northern Ireland police officer will be prosecuted for allegedly conspiring to pervert justice by creating a false threat report to secure a witness anonymity order, related to a "Troubles" commemoration event during the pandemic. This follows an investigation by the PSNI's Anti-Corruption Unit. The court date is pending. Prosecutors also decided not to charge a civilian for an alleged assault on police during the event due to insufficient evidence.
