Daniel Edmund Duggan (born 1969) is a former U.S. Marine Corps pilot. He renounced his U.S. citizenship, became an Australian citizen in 2012, and was arrested in October 2022 at the request of the U.S. government seeking his extradition based on charges of arms trafficking and money laundering. The U.S. government has accused him of training Chinese fighter pilots to land fighter jets on aircraft carriers and laundering money.[2] Duggan has denied the charges, but has not denied training Chinese pilots.
