James "Fergie" Chambers is a 41-year-old American multimillionaire and left-wing activist—an heir to the Cox Enterprises media fortune and a self-described Marxist-Leninist who has funded pro-Palestinian and humanitarian causes.

He remains in Spanish custody after Spain's National Court denied his fourth release request, citing flight risk due to his wealth. He has been held without bail at Aranjuez prison near Madrid since his arrest in Ibiza on July 10, 2026.

The U.S. DOJ seeks his extradition on charges of international money laundering, rioting, and conspiracy to riot, alleging he sent about $7.5 million to Tunisia that may have funded Hamas-linked groups. Spain authorized the extradition proceedings to move to court in September 2026.
