US asserted diplomatic immunity on behalf of suspect who flew back to US 19 days after crash
The Foreign Office failed to treat the Harry Dunn case as a crisis and lost “opportunities to influence” the US after diplomatic immunity was asserted on behalf of the suspect, an independent review has concluded.
David Lammy officially launched the review into the case in July, when he was foreign secretary. The report’s author, Dame Anne Owers, highlighted “failings and omissions” in the department when dealing with Harry’s death in August 2019.
