An Australian pilot will be extradited to the United States to face charges over allegedly working with the Chinese military.
Daniel Duggan, 55, was arrested in New South Wales in 2022 on orders from the United States, accused of breaching arms trafficking laws by training Chinese pilots in South Africa over a decade ago.
Mr Duggan denies the allegations made against him.
Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus confirmed in a statement that he had determined that Mr Duggan should be extradited.
“Mr Duggan was given the opportunity to provide representations as to why he should not be surrendered to the United States,” Mr Dreyfus said.
“In arriving at my decision, I took into consideration all material in front of me.”
