Former U.S. Marine Pilot Faces Extradition in Espionage-Linked Case

Daniel Duggan, accused of training Chinese military pilots, claims he was unaware of his associate's espionage activities.

Duggan, a naturalized Australian, was arrested in 2022 after allegations of violating U.S. arms control laws.
His legal defense argues that his work with Chinese hacker Su Bin was unrelated to espionage.
U.S. authorities discovered evidence linking Duggan to Su Bin, raising questions about his activities in China.
Duggan's extradition hearing is set for this month in Sydney, amid debates over his knowledge of Su Bin's activities.
His lawyers contend there is no proof he trained military pilots, opposing extradition on several grounds.
