# NYPD Used $4 Million Spy Plane to Transport Suspected CEO Killer

The NYPD used its $4 million, federally funded spy plane, designed for detecting radiological weapons, to transport suspected CEO killer Luigi Mangione from Pennsylvania to New York City.  This decision has sparked controversy and raised questions about the efficient use of taxpayer money.
