US diplomat's wife leaves UK after fatal crash - claims immunity
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...growing-calls/
This story is absurd. She is accused of causing a crash in which a U.K Citizen was killed and we can't do anything about it because the US won't revoke her immunity!
Quote:
In the aftermath she got out of the car and admitted liability, sources suggest.
But the following day, when police visited her home at Croughton, which is being used as a US intelligence base, to inform her the teenager had died in hospital, lawyers and embassy officials stepped in.
Dominic Raab, the foreign secretary, personally intervened, urging US ambassador Woody Johnson to grant a waiver of immunity, which was declined.
The US State Department confirmed that the vehicle was being driven by the spouse of a US diplomat assigned to the UK and that the family had left the the country.
