Fergie Chambers Faces Extradition to U.S. Despite Never Being Indicted, Says Lawyer
The refusal of two pro-Palestine protesters to testify before a grand jury could hamper the left-wing donor’s extradition from Spain. The post Fergie Chambers Faces Extradition to U.S. Despite Never Being Indicted, Says Lawyer appeared first on The Intercept .
U.S. lawyers representing millionaire left-wing donor James "Fergie" Chambers have criticized the Trump administration's extradition case against him, stating it is based on a single agent's criminal complaint rather than a grand jury investigation. Chambers, who has been detained in Spain since July, faces charges related to his support for pro-Palestine causes.
The complaint remains under seal, and two witnesses called before a federal grand jury have announced their intention not to testify, which could potentially complicate the extradition effort. The U.S. is seeking Chambers' extradition based on the criminal complaint, rather than an indictment, which critics argue weakens the case.
Two women who participated in a 2023 protest against an Israeli weapons manufacturer are also refusing to testify before the grand jury, citing their own past legal troubles.
