Above the Law
Not only do they kidnap our workers while they are in their Magic Kingdom, they abuse our citizens while over here.
A Saudi envoy who allegedly carried out a sex attack on an 11-year-old girl has escaped prosecution after claiming diplomatic immunity.The 41-year-old official, who works at the Saudi embassy in London, is alleged to have attacked the girl at a party at the home of another diplomat. He was arrested and taken to a local police station but immediately claimed diplomatic immunity.
Detectives were forced to release him without charge or an investigation as diplomats have legal immunity and cannot be prosecuted in the country in which they are staying.
A police source said: "It is very frustrating. It was a very serious allegation but there is nothing we can do."
