Former U.S. Marine Corps pilot Daniel Duggan will be extradited from Australia to the United States over allegations that he illegally trained Chinese aviators

Summary

Australia has approved the extradition of former U.S. Marine Daniel Duggan to the United States over allegations he illegally trained Chinese military pilots in 2010 and 2012.

Duggan, who renounced his U.S. citizenship and has been in an Australian prison since 2022, faces up to 60 years in prison if convicted.

Prosecutors allege he received $61,000 for the training.

Duggan denies the charges, and his family has criticized the Australian government for failing to protect him, expressing disappointment and weighing further options.
