This isn't nessacarily true, the country that the diplomat is in can ask that the person be handed over or at least tried in their own country. A Russian diplomat was drinking and driving up here and killed a pedestrian and her dog. Their was an uproar that he was going to get away with it as the Russian government would not hand him over. They tried him in their own country and the Russian judge found him guilty, now instead of spending 5 years in a Canadian country club he is doing 5 years in a siberian prison camp. He was better off letting us handle him but the guy actually thought his country would let him off the hook.
