After nearly two years of legal battles, former U.S. Marine Corps pilot Daniel Duggan is set to be extradited from Australia to the United States. The extradition was approved by Australia’s Attorney General, Mark Dreyfus, following allegations that Duggan illegally trained Chinese aviators.
Duggan, a 55-year-old Boston-born individual who served in the Marines for 12 years before immigrating to Australia and relinquishing his U.S. citizenship, has been detained in a maximum-security prison since his arrest in 2022 at his family home in New South Wales. He is a father of six children.
