Prosecutors Might Again Try To Indict Indian Diplomat Devyani Khobragade

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Federal prosecutors have suggested that they plan to seek another indictment against an Indian diplomat who was arrested and strip-searched but had charges against her dismissed by a judge.

The judge ruled Devyani Khobragade had diplomatic immunity when she was indicted on charges of fraudulently obtaining a work visa for her housekeeper and lying about the maid’s pay.

But the ruling left open the possibility prosecutors could bring a new indictment against her. The U.S. attorney’s office in Manhattan said Wednesday it intends “to proceed accordingly.”

Khobragade’s attorney, Daniel Arshack, said she feels the rule of law prevailed.

2. What kind of behavior isn't covered by 'immunity'? She can defraud her victim, could she have....

murdered her, too?

3. I am not sure what crimes are covered by immunity.

I think with the signature of the ambassador her immunity could have been rescinded but that never happened.
