US’s Secret Removal of Diplomat From UK ‘Unforgivable’ – Harry Dunn’s Mother
- American authorities removed an embassy staffer from London after allegations surfaced regarding indecent images of children, flying the individual to the United States without informing British police.
- On August 25, American authorities reportedly raided a Putney residence and transported the staffer to an RAF base, allegedly without formal extradition requests or prior notice to Scotland Yard.
- Putney Fleur Anderson stated, "No one should be above the law. This incident happened in my constituency but the implications go far beyond Putney." Charlotte Charles, whose son Harry Dunn was killed by Anne Sacoolas, called the removal "unforgivable."
- Conservative Nick Timothy accused the United States of a "cover-up" in a letter to Justice Secretary Alex Norris, while the Government declined to comment, stating it expects foreign diplomats to obey the law.
- The Embassy said it takes allegations seriously and works closely with law enforcement partners, as Ministers remain in contact regarding the incident, which critics warn could further strain diplomatic relations between London and Washington.
