Polish authorities arrested and charged a Huawei executive and a former Polish government official with espionage, The Wall Street Journal reported Friday. The arrest deals a brutal blow to the Chinese company.
News of the executive’s arrest comes amid speculation that Beijing is using Huawei to spy on U. S. companies as they build out the world’s next generation of mobile-telecom networks. The executive, whose name is blocked from public, pleaded not guilty to a crime that carries up to a decade in prison.
Authorities also arrested a former Polish government official on similar charges.
This is the second time in two months that Huawei has dealt with executives being charged with crimes in foreign nations.
