Yesterday Saffrine Duggan appealed to Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese and Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus, to immediately release her husband, Dan Duggan, based on a raft of new evidence of abuse of process contained in an 89 page legal submission.  If you can, please help the Duggan family fight this in injustice and protect the rights of Australian citizens by making a donation here: https://chuffed.org/project/109154-dan-duggan-extradition-legal-fund

The Canberra Times and others report the submission was given to the attorney-general in late August after months of research, background and expert opinion:  https://www.canberratimes.com.au/story/8765276/ex-pilot-facing-extradition-makes-final-bid-for-freedom/

"It is the most detailed examination into the allegations against Dan and it revealed glaring errors in process and fact in the US case," she said in a statement on Monday.

Mrs Duggan described the case as "vague, embarrassing and oppressive", saying it had omitted key pieces of evidence such as her husband's flight logbook.

While someone could only be extradited for conduct which was a crime in both countries, Ms Duggan said her husband was accused of actions that were only illegal in the US but were "tenuously" linked to legislation enacted in 2018.

"In other words, this was legislated nine months after the US indictment, and six years after Dan's alleged offences. It is retrospective," she said.

Saffrine said the family was only able to fight the case and feed the kids “thanks to the generosity of strangers who have donated money to help me as a single mother who has been stripped of my assets” … These are the kinds of burdens that are placed on our family every day.”

Dan has already spent more than 22 months on maximum security prison with no Australian charges.

Thanks again for your support.
