Example of Diplomatic Crime --- In the United States, in 1997, an ambassador from the republic of Georgia, legally drink at the time and driving three times the speed limit caused an automobile accident in Washington, D.C. leading to four injuries and the death of a sixteen-year-old girl. The United States fromally requested that the republic of Georgia waive his immunity persuant to Article 32 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations. The republic of Georgia complied and the diplomat was eventually convicted of involuntary manslaughter in the United States and sentenced to federal prison.
