A so-called ‘red notice’ has been issued by INTERPOL for Anne Sacoolas, an alleged former employee of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, who is accused of causing an accident that killed a man in the United Kingdom last year.
The accident victim is Harry Dunn, 19,
who died on August 27, 2019, after a collision with a automobile that
was being driven by Sacoolas. British police have said that Sacoolas’
car was being driven on the wrong side of the street at the time of the
accident.
The accident took place a few yards from
the entrance to the Royal Air Force base in Croughton, where Sacoolas’
husband was stationed at the time. He is thought to have been working at
the US Air Force listening station, which is located inside the base.
The American family had been in the United Kingdom for less than a month
when the accident happened. British police charged Sacoolas with
dangerous driving that led to the death of Dunn. However, the Sacoolas
family left the country two weeks later, allegedly with the consent of
the British Foreign Office. The Foreign Office reportedly agreed with
the US government’s argument that Sacoolas had diplomatic immunity due
to her husband’s work, and could not be tried for the accident.
Later, however, the diplomatic immunity
claim was strongly disputed by Dunn’s family. Eventually British Prime
Minister Boris Johnson and Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab requested
Sacoolas’ extradition to the United Kingdom. But the White House refused
to grant the request and suggested instead that financial compensation
be paid to the family. The White House also proposed a meeting between
US President Donald Trump and the parents of Harry Dunn, which they
refused to participate in. In the meantime there were allegations in
British and American media that Sacoolas used to work for the CIA and that her husband is an intelligence officer.
Now INTERPOL, the International Police Organization, has issued
a red notice for Sacoolas, which theoretically means she could be
arrested if she were to leave American territory. Speaking on Monday,
Radd Seiger, a lawyer for Dunn’s parents, argued the INTERPOL move means
that Sacoolas did not have diplomatic immunity at the time of the
accident, since red notices “are not served on valid diplomats”, he
said. He also called for the British parliament to launch an inquiry
into the accident and into Sacoolas’ subsequent departure from the
United Kingdom.
