Seven months after Daniel Duggan lost his two-year legal battle to stay, Attorney General Mark Dreyfus approved the request to send the former pilot to the US.
A former US fighter pilot and Australian citizen accused of training Chinese fighter pilots will be extradited to the United States to face charges of arms trafficking and money-laundering.
After more than two years in detention in Australia, much of it in solitary confinement, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus approved the extradition request on Friday. Duggan has the option of appealing to the Federal Court against Dreyfus’ decision to approve the extradition. The father of six had made a last-ditch attempt to avoid prosecution in the US, sending an 89-page submission to Dreyfus outlining why the extradition should not go ahead.Saffrine Duggan, the pilot’s wife, said in a statement that she and the couple’s six children had been left devastated by the Attorney-General’s decision.
