Extradition hearings for Huawei’s Meng in Canada come to a close
Al Jazeera
Meng was detained on a US request in December 2018, with China arresting two Canadians just days later.
Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou’s fight in a Canadian court against extradition to the United States to face fraud and conspiracy charges has wrapped up after nearly 1,000 days of testimony. The chief financial officer of the Chinese telecom giant is accused of defrauding HSBC Bank by falsely misrepresenting links between Huawei and Skycom, a subsidiary that sold telecoms equipment to Iran. The US Justice Department says Meng’s actions put the bank at risk of violating US sanctions, as it continued to clear US dollar transactions for Huawei.More Related News
