Watch: It feels like we turned a corner, Dunn family says (Evening Standard)

Harry Dunn’s family are “100 per cent convinced” that Anne Sacoolas will be extradited following a meeting with Home Secretary Priti Patel.

Radd Seiger, the family’s spokesman, told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that he and the Dunns “cannot envisage a situation” where Ms Sacoolas is not extradited from the US to face justice in the UK.

Harry, 19, died after the motorbike he was driving collided with a car being driven by Ms Sacoolas outside an RAF base on August 27.

The 43-year-old woman, who is the wife of an American intelligence officer who was working at RAF Croughton, Northamptonshire, left the UK with her family claiming diplomatic immunity.

Speaking on Monday morning, Mr Seiger said: “We had a fantastic meeting with two senior cabinet members yesterday, they’ve held their hands up and said things could have been done better and communication wasn’t what it could have been.

“They’ve apologised for that and agreed to work with us to see how it could be improved for the next family.”

He added: “If you and I had done with what this lady is now charged with, we couldn’t flee the country, we would have to go through the legal process. No one is above the law.

“Will she come back? We are 100 per cent convinced now that she will be extradited. There is no doubt in our minds.”

Ms Sacoolas’ lawyer Amy Jeffress has said that she “will not return voluntarily to the UK”.

She added that the potential prison sentence of 14 years was “not proportional” for an “accident”.

Mr Seiger said that the US will extradite Ms Sacoolas, and that doing otherwise would break 100 years of precedent.

He said: “Like the rest of us, we believe in the rule of law and now that the charging decision has been made on Friday, she has been charged, the extradition process is very clearly defined, everybody has to go through a process.

“Which will ultimately lead to the application being sent across to the United States. We cannot envisage a situation where they will turn that down.

“The United States has never in the 100 years of the Treaty turned down an extradition request from the UK. I don’t for a single second think they will set a precedent with this case.”
