A U.S. Marine veteran has been charged with training Chinese military pilots and working with co-conspirators who were charged with illegally obtaining a U.S. T-2 Buckeye naval jet trainer for the Chinese government.

In October, Australian Federal Police announced they had arrested 54-year-old Daniel Edmund Duggan in an international operation at the request of the U.S. government. Though U.S. prosecutors did not immediately specify the reason for Duggan’s arrest, media sources alleged the arrest was tied to the retired Marine Harrier attack jet pilot’s work for Chinese aviation consultancy firms.
