How foreign envoys commit crazy crimes while living abroad — sometimes, even murder — and get away with it.
There was the time in 1984 when six Iranian diplomats butchered a sheep on a London street, and British authorities couldn’t charge them with animal cruelty.
Ecuadorean diplomats smuggled 40 kilos of cocaine from Mexico to New York in a diplomatic pouch in 2012.Or when diplomats from Zaire declined to pay rent for the Manhattan high-rise they occupied since 1982, and despite owing over $400,000 to their landlord a decade later, refused to pay or vacate, claiming diplomatic immunity.
“The crates were not fully marked up as diplomatic baggage,” Barker said. “The UK authorities chose to open them and found the dissident and an Israeli anesthetist inside.” Both women claimed diplomatic immunity, and though Sacoolas faces a court case in the UK later this month, both have gotten off scot-free.
