An international “wanted” notice has been issued for an American woman accused of allegedly causing death by the dangerous driving of motorcyclist Harry Dunn.
The notice means that if Anne Sacoolas leaves the US USA faces an arrest for allegedly running over the teenager while driving on the wrong side of the road near an RAF base Northamptonshire last August.
In an email sent by Northamptonshire police, the 19-year-old’s parents were told that the suspect was “internationally wanted” and that “if she left the US, the wanted circulations should be enacted.”

Mr. Dunn, 19, died in a head-on collision with RAF Croughton while riding his motorcycle.
Mrs. Sacoolas, 42, wife of a United States intelligence officer, claimed diplomatic immunity and returned to the United States. Sky News has confirmed that he had CIA experience.
In December, after a public outcry, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) accused Ms. Sacoolas of causing Mr. Dunn’s death for driving dangerously.
But the following month, the United States Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, rejected a request for extradition from the British government, something that Boris Johnson described as a “denial of justice”.
Harry Dunn’s parents, Charlotte Charles and Tim Dunn, have promised to fight for justice for their son.
The prime minister’s spokesman reaffirmed that position when asked about the “internationally wanted” notice on Monday.
“You should return to the UK, we have made that clear to the United States, including Prime Minister of President Trump,” he said.
A CPS spokesperson said: “In December 2019, the CPS authorized the Northamptonshire Police to charge Anne Sacoolas with causing death for driving dangerously.”
“Our goal continues to be that Ms. Sacoolas is tried in this country. We will continue to do everything we can to ensure that happens.”
“However, we cannot give any explanation of the steps that can be taken or not, because doing so can compromise operational effectiveness.”
Amy Jeffress, a lawyer for Anne Sacoolas, said in a statement after the charges were announced that her client would not return to the UK to face them because the possible 14-year sentence “was not proportional” for what was “a terrible accident but involuntary. “

“Anne is devastated by this tragic accident and continues to extend her deepest condolences to the family,” said the lawyer.
“Anne would do her best to bring Harry back. She is a mother and cannot imagine the pain of losing a child.”
“She has fully cooperated with the investigation and accepted the responsibility … This was an accident, and criminal prosecution with a possible sentence of 14 years in prison is simply not a proportionate response.”
Dunn’s parents, Tim Dunn and Charlotte Charles, have promised to continue to fight for justice for their son, suggesting at some point that the UK “exchange” Prince Andrew for Mrs. Sacoolas.
The Duke of York is wanted in the United States by investigators investigating the case of the late pedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Last week, the Dunn family told Sky News that they are filing a complaint with CPS about what they call their “inhuman” treatment.
