US diplomat’s wife Anne Sacoolas’ lawyers contact family of Harry Dunn to set up meeting after ‘killing him in crash’

LAWYERS of the US diplomat’s wife involved in a hit-and-run that killed Harry Dunn are finally setting up a meeting with the 19-year-old’s heartbroken family.

British cops believe Anne Sacoolas, 42, hit Harry’s motorbike with her Volvo after driving for 400 yards on the wrong side of the road when leaving RAF Croughton, Northants., in August.

The family had appealed to Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab to intervene in the case, but were told the US government had twice refused requests for Sacoolas‘ immunity to be waived.

The Dunn family’s spokesperson Radd Seiger said on Saturday: “I have had a brief conversation with the legal representatives appointed on behalf of Anne Sacoolas and we have agreed to meet at the earliest opportunity.”

It comes as parents Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn flew to the US to fight for justice.
Charlotte previously described Sacoolas’ protection as an “abuse of diplomatic immunity”.
“When the laws were drawn up in the Sixties they weren’t intended to protect a diplomat’s wife who had, albeit unintentionally, killed a 19-year-old boy in an accident,” she told the Mail Online.

Downing Street this week said the case was “extremely concerning” and urged the US to “reconsider their position” so “the justice process can take place”.

Urging the US to reconsider its decision to give immunity to the diplomat’s wife, Prime Minister Boris Johnson said: “I do not think it can be right to use the process of diplomatic immunity for this type of purpose.”
