Australian ex-pilot Daniel Duggan, jailed for three years over U.S. arms charges, fights extradition amid legal and financial strain.
Former Australian fighter pilot Daniel Duggan remains imprisoned in New South Wales for three years after his arrest, fighting extradition to the U.S. over allegations he trained Chinese military personnel in South Africa from 2010 to 2012.
Accused of violating U.S. arms-trafficking laws, his case hinges on whether the act was also a crime in Australia at the time, a key issue in extradition law.
His legal team challenges the 2022 approval of extradition by then-Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, now under review in the Federal Court.
The family faces severe financial strain, with legal costs nearing half a million dollars, denied Legal Aid, and unable to sell their half-built home due to an injunction.
Duggan’s wife and children express distress over the prolonged uncertainty, urging Attorney-General Michelle Rowland to act.
No ruling date has been set, and the government has declined to comment.
