An American diplomat has been secretly flown out of the United Kingdom following a raid on his London flat. The operation, which involved US authorities seizing the individual and transporting him to a US airbase for removal, occurred last month amid allegations that the man possessed indecent images of children, Sky News reports.
US personnel do not hold any powers of arrest within the UK. Furthermore, there was no formal request to extradite the man before he was moved out of the country. The entire event is reportedly tied to an investigation currently being conducted into another person located in the United States.
