Senior US spook who claimed diplomatic immunity and fled the UK after an accident killed a motorcyclist.

Anne Elizabeth Sacoolas is a CIA officer. She was names by Sky News as the driver involved in a crash in the UK which killed a motorcyclist.[1]

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.[2]

She claimed "diplomatic immunity", which the UK/FCO denied, then fled the country aboard a US Air Force aircraft. The UK police told.[3]

Extradition

The US government denied an extradition request.[3] The US State Department stated that "The driver was the spouse of an accredited diplomat to the United Kingdom", although Craig Murray notd 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".[4]
