An Australian Federal Court judge has dismissed an appeal by Daniel Duggan, 57, a dual US-Australian citizen and former US Marine pilot, clearing the way for his extradition to the United States. Duggan, who has been held in a maximum security prison since his arrest in the New South Wales city of Orange in October 2022, is accused of illegally training Chinese fighter pilots in South Africa between 2010 and 2012 in violation of US arms-trafficking laws — charges he denies. He faces up to 65 years in prison if convicted and has 28 days to mount a further appeal, while his wife has urged the Australian government to intervene in the case.
