Dunns launch private action

THE family of Harry Dunn have said they will bring a private prosecution against the Foreign Secretary, accusing him of misconduct in a public office and perverting the course of justice.

The teenager’s parents allege Dominic Raab allowed suspect Anne Sacoolas to leave the country without involving the police, while her claim for diplomatic immunity was “ambiguous”.

Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn have also accused Mr Raab of preventing Northamptonshire Police from conducting their investigations into the 19-year-old’s death.

Mr Dunn was killed when his motorbike crashed into a car outside a US military base in Northamptonshire in August last year.

Sacoolas, the wife of an intelligence official based at RAF Croughton, was able to return to the US after claiming diplomatic immunity.

The PA news agency understands the Foreign Office (FCO) remain confident it has acted properly and lawfully in relation to Mr Dunn’s death.

In October, the Foreign Secretary told MPS the FCO had consistently called for Sacoolas’s immunity to be waived
