A US diplomatic source hit back yesterday, saying: “We acted decisively. If we had ceded ground and waited there could have been delays and diplomacy that could have gone on for weeks or months.” Leading extradition lawyer Edward Grange, a partner at Corker Binning, told The Sun on Sunday: “The US Embassy is not American territory and diplomatic status does not give US law enforcement a free hand to exercise police powers on British soil.

Her Volvo hit the 19-year-old’s Kawasaki head-on in August 2019 near RAF Croughton, Northants, where her husband worked as a US intelligence official. Her car had been on the right-hand side of the road when it should have been on the left. Mum-of-two Sacoolas, now 49, fled the UK for the States 19 days after the crash, claiming diplomatic immunity. The Government sought her return, but the US declined the extradition request in 2020.  She has never come back. In December 2022, Sacoolas appeared at London’s Old Bailey via video link and pleaded guilty to causing death by careless driving.  She got an eight-month jail term, suspended for a year.
