Harry Dunn mother ‘ livid’ at claims driver in death crash was a CIA spy

THE devastated mother of Harry Dunn is ‘livid’ after it was claimed the American woman wanted over his death was a CIA agent.

Charlotte Charles has demanded answers over claims that Anne Sacoolas, who fled Britain after crashing into the teenager’s motorbike outside an air base last August, served as a senior spy.

The US government has refused to extradite the mother- of-three, claiming Mrs Sacoolas – the wife of an intelligence officer based at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire – has diplomatic immunity.

British officials are said to have been aware of Mrs Sacoolas’s career in espionage, but she was not declared as an agent when she came to the UK with her husband Jonathan and had no official role.

Mrs Charles said: ‘How could they do this to us? We have thrown ourselves into building relationships with the Government despite the terrible way they were treating us. We believe in giving people a second chance. But I am livid today and my family are full of anger.’ Mrs Charles said the fresh reports in The Mail on Sunday ‘shows that they have not been candid with us at all’.

Harry, 19, was killed on August 27 last year. Mrs Sacoolas, 42, claimed diplomatic immunity as the wife of an intelligence official and was able to return to her home country, sparking an international outcry. She was charged with causing Harry’s death by dangerous driving in December but US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo rejected an extradition request.

Multiple sources in Washington and London have reportedly confirmed Mrs Sacoolas’s CIA background with one even claiming she was ‘more senior than her husband’.

US government sources told the newspaper that Mrs Sacoolas was ‘not active’ in the UK, although a security source added: ‘You never really leave the CIA.’
