US officials seized a diplomat who faces allegations of possessing indecent images of children and ‘secretly’ flew him out of the UK, according to reports.
The Sun reported that the man’s flat in Putney, southwest London, was stormed on August 25, before he was taken back across the Atlantic without the British police being told.
It is believed he was removed from his flat amid an investigation into another person based in the US.
British ministers are understood to be in contact with the US Embassy and law enforcement as the full facts are established.
US authorities do not have powers of arrest in the UK, and the formal extradition process does not appear to have taken place.

PM’s chief secretary Darren Jones defends decision and says next release will not be until next month
Ministers have been accused of a cover-up after admitting they have withheld information relating to Peter Mandelson’s appointment as Washington ambassador from a parliamentary committee.
MPs from both sides of the Commons criticised Darren Jones, the prime minister’s chief secretary, on Tuesday after he said the government had not disclosed certain information to parliament’s intelligence and security committee (ISC).
Jones said ministers would now not publish the next tranche of documents on Mandelson until next month, prompting accusations that the government was trying to avoid doing so before the crucial Makerfield byelection, which is expected on 18 June.
Neil O’Brien, a shadow Cabinet Office minister, told the Commons: “To say that the government have applied redactions to documents sent to the ISC, beyond the scope agreed by the house, and have also withheld documents entirely from the ISC, is an extremely serious matter that completely undermines what the house agreed.
“This house, and the people of this country, deserve better than yet another cover-up.”
…
On Friday the ISC published an unusually critical statement revealing that the government had withheld information from the committee including personal data and Mandelson’s detailed vetting files.
Jones defended that decision on Tuesday, insisting that the government had the right to redact such information, as it would do if making disclosures under the Freedom of Information Act.

Remember that letter Trump swore doesn’t exist? Well, the Epstein estate just released it.
At the height of Donald Trump’s scandal surrounding notorious late sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein, the Wall Street Journal in July reported that the president had written a cryptic message wishing Epstein a happy 50th birthday in 2003. The note was reportedly contained within a marker drawing of a woman’s naked torso.
Trump insisted this was a “fake thing.” “I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he told the Journal. “It’s not my language. It’s not my words.” Vice President JD Vance called it “complete and utter bullshit.”
The president filed a lawsuit against the newspaper in hopes of, in his words, suing owner Rupert Murdoch’s “ass off, and that of his third rate paper.”
Murdoch and the Journal’s asses may live to see another day, as the paper on Monday released a photo of the letter.
