U.S. rebuffs Britain’s extradition request for diplomat’s wife after fatal crash

11th January 2020 / NewsBits
  • The United States on Friday rejected a formal request from Britain for the extradition of a U.S. diplomat’s wife who left the country last year after a road collision that killed 19-year-old Briton Harry Dunn.
  • British prosecutors are seeking the extradition of Anne Sacoolas over the crash last August in which Dunn was killed while riding his motorbike.
  • “Following the Crown Prosecution Service’s charging decision, the Home Office has sent an extradition request to the United States for Anne Sacoolas on charges of causing death by dangerous driving,” a UK Home Office spokesman said in a statement on Friday.
  • “This is now a decision for the U.S. authorities.” A U.S. State Department spokesman said Washington would not grant the request.
