A SENIOR Foreign Office official texted US spy Anne Sacoolas and told her to leave the UK “on the next flight out” after she killed Harry Dunn.

Ex-CIA agent Sacoolas, 42, fled Britain after she crashed into the motorcyclist, 19, outside RAF Croughton last August.

The bombshell text emerged after Harry’s family took legal action against the Foreign Office leading to private communications being disclosed, reports the Mail on Sunday.

This follows Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab telling the Commons that Sacoolas’ exit had been “objected in clear and strong terms.”

However, the text message between the unnamed official shows the American was told she was free to leave on the next available commercial plane.

The US government claimed that Sacoolas was the wife of one of their diplomats and therefore had diplomatic immunity when she fled on Sept 15.

However, last month it was revealed that the American was a former CIA agent with a more senior role than her spy husband.

Harry’s family were told that she had left Britain 11 days after her departure.

The private communications have been handed to the High Court which is expected to hear evidence from the FCO that it battled the US over Sacoolas’ diplomatic immunity.

Washington reportedly pointed to an “ambiguous” treaty stating that their diplomats were criminally liable for their actions while in the UK.

However the treaty did not mention spouses of officials – something the US used to insist Sacoolas should not be prosecuted.

This will be challenged in court on April 2 after Mr Raab accepted Washington’s argument.

Sacoolas slammed into Harry’s motorbike outside the RAF base in Northamptonshire on August 27 last year.

She returned to the US on September 15 – but was charged in December with causing Harry’s death by dangerous driving.

The mum has apologised over the crash but is refusing to return to the UK to face justice.

And the US State Department said returning Sacoolas would be highly inappropriate.

Sacoolas could now be issued with an Interpol arrest notice or be tried in the UK without being present, the family’s lawyer Radd Seiger warned last month.

He said the Foreign Office were looking at a “number of options” after the US refused to extradite Sacoolas from the US back to the UK.

Mr Seiger told BBC Radio 4: “They could try her in her absence, or issue an Interpol red notice so if she steps outside of the US she gets arrested and brought back.

“There are number of lawyers looking at all sorts of things.

“We are going to have to be patient.”
