PM Johnson urged to intervene by Harry's brother Niall Dunn

Niall Dunn has made an emotional plea to the PM to intervene for the sake of justice

The tragic story of Northamptonshire teenager, Harry Dunn, refuses to go away no matter how hard the government tries to sweep it under the carpet.

In the latest development, Harry’s twin brother, Niall Dunn, has told Prime Minister, Boris Johnson, that he and his family “have had enough of the lies”.

In a highly emotional letter, Niall, 20, told the PM he is “sick and tired” of seeing his parents suffer and called on Johnson to personally intervene to serve the cause of justice.

Harry, who was 19, was killed in late August last year after his motorcycle was hit by a car driven by Anne Sacoolas, the wife of a serving US spy based at RAF Croughton in Northamptonshire.

Established in 1941, RAF Croughton has housed a US spy base since the early 1990s.

It was later revealed that Sacoolas herself is a former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) officer.

Sacoolas avoided prosecution – despite a live police investigation – and fled the UK by claiming diplomatic immunity. It was later revealed that Britain’s Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) had facilitated her escape.

In December 2019 Sacoolas was charged by the Crown Prosecution Service of causing death by dangerous driving, a crime that can attract a prison sentence of up to 14 years.

In his letter to Johnson, Niall urged the PM to take up the case personally as the Dunn family believes the FCO has “made a mess” of the case and that Foreign Secretary, Dominic Raab, has “lost control of this scandal”.

"I've had enough of the lies, the deceit … They [the Americans] think they can just walk all over us and get away with it", Niall complains to the PM.

"I just don't understand how they [the Americans] think they can get away with it", Niall adds.

Meanwhile the FCO has reiterated its position that Sacoolas “could not have been prevented” from leaving the UK after killing Harry.

The FCO spokesman claimed Sacoolas "had diplomatic immunity under the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations".

Throughout the scandal the FCO has failed to adequately explain as to why the wife of a spy (presumably serving under diplomatic cover) should benefit from her husband’s legal status.

Critics have argued that Sacoolas was able to exploit a legal and diplomatic loophole dating back to 1994 when the UK acceded to US demands to extend diplomatic immunity to the entire US spy base housed at RAF Croughton.
