Saudi diplomats caught driving drunk in Britain have avoided any legal charges or penalties based on their diplomatic immunity status.

The offenses by the Saudi diplomats were among the 14 “serious and significant” ones cited by Scotland Yard’s diplomatic protection group over the past year by people with diplomatic immunity, RT reported Wednesday.

Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office (FCO) Mark Simmonds revealed the offenses committed by diplomats in Britain in a statement addressed to the British parliament on Tuesday.

Six of the claims made were for drunken driving offenses.

The Saudi diplomats who avoided the charges were not named; however, the reports said that “it is understood that they will receive punishments at home from the Saudi royal family’s enforcers.”

A diplomat from Kuwait, another Persian Gulf Arab state, also stood accused of drunken driving.

This is while the consumption of alcohol is strictly banned in both Saudi Arabia and Kuwait with severe punishment for ordinary offenders.
