PM ‘misinformed’ on low chance of Sacoolas extradition, says Harry Dunn spokesman

Anne Sacoolas unlikely to be sent to UK to face trial, Boris Johnson tells BBC Breakfast

Boris Johnson’s assertion that the wife of a US intelligence officer charged with causing the death by dangerous driving of the 19-year-old motorcyclist Harry Dunn is unlikely to be sent back to the UK to face trial is misconceived, a spokesman for the teenager’s family has said.

The Home Office confirmed on Friday that it had sent a request to the US government to extradite Anne Sacoolas over the collision outside RAF Croughton, in Northamptonshire, on 27 August last year.

I am afraid the PM is misinformed. The US has never once, in the long history of the treaty, turned down an extradition request from the UK. Not once. https://t.co/WzVuyCnEjz
