US EditionFormer US military pilot’s lawyer tells Sydney court that extradition hearing should be delayed
- Dan Duggan, a former U.S. military pilot, is fighting extradition to the United States and has requested crucial material from government agencies to defend his case. His lawyer argues that the extradition hearing should be postponed due to delays in receiving the necessary documents.
- Duggan's defense team claims that the prosecution is political and that the alleged crime does not exist under Australian law. They also argue that Duggan's experience in maximum-security prisons has had a psychological impact on him.
- The magistrate will hear submissions on the postponement application on Oct. 23. Duggan's legal team aims to view the requested documents, including 2,000 pages relating to his allegation of being illegally lured back to Australia for extradition. They hope to use the findings of the investigation into the Australian Security Intelligence Organization to oppose extradition and seek bail.
