印度女外交官柯布拉加德已经离开美国,她涉嫌在为其保姆申请签证时撒谎,此事导致印度与美国之间的分歧。
柯布拉加德星期四晚间乘飞机离开美国,此前印度拒绝了美国提出的免除其豁免权的要求。
柯布拉加德本是印度驻纽约的副总领事,但按照标准程序,美国官员星期四接受印度方面的要求,将柯布拉加德的驻美身份改为驻联合国的外交官,给予她全面豁免权。
在柯布拉加德获得全面豁免权后,美国国务院要求印度免除她的这一权利,以便美方对她提出起诉,但印度拒绝了这一要求。
美国国务院发言人说,柯布拉加德离境后,针对她的指控不会撤销,而一旦她返回美国,将会面临起诉。
An Indian diplomat at the center of a disagreement with the United States for allegedly lying on a visa application for her maid has left the U.S.
Devyani Khobragade flew out of the U.S. Thursday night after India turned down a U.S. request to waive her diplomatic immunity.
Khobragade had been serving as India's deputy consel general in New York. However, on Thursday - following standard procedure - U.S. officials accepted India's request to change her accreditation to the United Nations as a diplomat, giving her full immunity.
Once she had full immunity, the State Department asked India to waive it so that Khobragade could face charges. But India denied the request.
The spokesman said the charges against her will not be dropped upon leaving the country, and she will face them if she returns.
