Senior US spook who claimed "diplomatic immunity" and then fled the UK after an accident in which a motorcyclist was killed. |
Anne Elizabeth Goodwin Sacoolas is a CIA officer. She was named by Sky News as the driver involved in a crash in the UK which killed a 19 year old motorcyclist.[1] The US State Department claimed that she had diplomatic immunity, but the UK FCO did not accept this. She fled to US on a USAF plane and the US government denied an extradition request.
On 24 April 2020, Craig Murray wrote:
"Beyond any doubt, it would have been Dominic Raab’s personal decision to grant a fake diplomatic immunity to Anne Sacoolas and permit her to leave the country."[2]

Accident
Anne Sacoolas was reportedly driving on the right-hand side of the road when her SUV collided head on with the motorbike of Harry Dunn.[3]
Flight
Mystery still surrounds the exact circumstances of how the Sacoolas family were able to flee in the days after the crash, but the US government claim they notified the Foreign Office that they were leaving.[4]
She claimed diplomatic immunity, which the UK/FCO denied, then fled the country aboard a US Air Force aircraft.[5]
Extradition
The US government denied an extradition request.[5] The US State Department stated that "The driver was the spouse of an accredited diplomat to the United Kingdom", although Craig Murray noted that since "there is no Jonathan Sacoolas on the official Diplomatic list. Neither Sacoolas nor his wife has any right to claim diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations".[6]
Apology
Anne Sacoolas wrote around 7 weeks after the crash to Dunn's family to express her “deepest sympathies and apologies”.[3]
