It doesn't work like that in the USA either, does it? If a official of the government, say a judge in a city, does something do you have headlines saying USA did it?

Sure it does, if regards foreign citizens.

"The US demands extradition of so-and-so", for example, would be a typical headline in many places.

Here we reserve that for when the president, secretary of state or someone relevant in foreign affairs says or does something, not a prosecutor.
