Ex-Marine Duggan Fights U.S. Extradition Request in Australian Court
In December 2022, the Australian attorney-general accepted an extradition request from the U.S. for the rendition of Daniel Edmund Duggan, an ex-Marine who renounced his American citizenship to become an Australian citizen, to face charges relating to his alleged training of Chinese fighter pilots in a South African flight school. The U.S. is charging him with unlawfully engaging in conspiracies to export defense services to China, launder money, and violate the Arms Export Control Act. Duggan’s attorney Dennis Miralis has been actively making rounds through several media outlets to proclaim that the prosecution of his client is politically motivated and Duggan is being “singled out.”
