Ex-Marine facing extradition in Australia says wasn't US citizen at time of offence
==========

A former U.S. Marine Corps pilot, Daniel Duggan, who is facing extradition from Australia to the United States, will argue that he was no longer a U.S. citizen at the time of two of the alleged offences, including training Chinese pilots. Duggan, a 55-year-old Australian citizen, was arrested in October 2022 and is facing charges of money laundering and breaking U.S. law by training Chinese military pilots to land on aircraft carriers. His barrister stated that Duggan renounced his U.S. citizenship in January 2012, while the U.S. government claims he didn't lose his citizenship until 2016. Duggan's family is seeking government aid to continue his legal defense after spending A$800,000 on legal fees. The hearing on Duggan's eligibility for extradition is scheduled for May 24.
