Authorities in Britain have formally requested the extradition of Anne Sacoolas, the wife of an American diplomat, who was charged in the death of a British teenager.
Sacoolas, a 42-year-old U.S. citizen, is believed to have been driving the car that crashed into 19-year-old Harry Dunn while he was riding his motorcycle on a roadway in the village of Croughton, England, on the night of Aug. 27, 2019. "The United States has a strong law enforcement relationship with the UK and, in particular, a strong track record of close cooperation on extradition matters," according to a spokesperson from the State Department."However, under the circumstances of this case, we strongly believe that an extradition request would be highly inappropriate."
"We remain willing to work with the UK authorities to identify a path forward," according to the statement.U.K. police traveled to the U.S. to interview Sacoolas in October and President Donald Trump spoke out about the incident, describing it as a “terrible accident” engulfed in a “very complex issue” due to Sacoolas’ claim of diplomatic immunity.
The Dunn family said the extradition request was"a huge step towards achieving justice for Harry," according to a statement issued on their behalf by attorney Radd Seiger.
