Former US Marines Corp pilot Daniel Duggan is facing extradition to the United States for allegedly breaking US arms control law after he trained Chinese pilots.
The lawyer’s filing supports Reuters reporting linking Duggan to convicted Chinese defence hacker Su Bin. The case will be heard in a Sydney court in May, two years after his arrest in rural Australia at a time when Britain was warning its former military pilots not to work for China. Messages retrieved from Su Bin’s electronic devices show he paid for Duggan’s travel from Australia to Beijing in May 2012, according to extradition documents lodged by the United States with the Australian court.
ASIO and the US Naval Criminal Investigative Service did not respond to Reuters requests for comment on the meetings.“An ASIO officer suggested that while carrying on his legitimate business operations in China, Mr Duggan may be able to gather sensitive information,” his lawyer wrote.
