If The Russian Diplomatic Mission Hadn’t Acted, It Would Have Put All Diplomatic Scofflaws At Risk

The Sun reports (link reveals just enough to get the gist of the story), that the Russian who took advantage of his diplomatic immunity to avoid having a Breathalyzer test administered is being sent back home:

Yielding to pressure from the State Department and city politicians, Russian officials sent the diplomat who hit a police officer with his car while allegedly driving drunk last weekend back to Moscow, officials said yesterday.

Ilya Morozov, 28, an attache at the Russian Mission to the United Nations for the last year, boarded a plane for Russia just hours after the consulate received a diplomatic note from the American ambassador to the United Nations, John Bolton, requesting Mr. Morozov’s diplomatic immunity be waived or that he be sent out of the country, a spokeswoman for the mission, Maria Zakharova, said.
