The Canadian government has decided to allow the U. S. extradition process of Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou to proceed, the country’s Department of Justice announced Friday.
It’s the first step in what’s likely to be a lengthy and revealing legal process. Meng will sit for an extradition hearing in Canada on March 6, during which evidence will be entered into the public record.
Meng, the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in Vancouver, British Columbia, in December over allegations that the company defrauded several banks, including HSBC and Standard Chartered, by concealing payments from Iran in violations of sanctions against that country.
The process to extradite Meng extends a saga that has captivated markets and fueled tensions between the U. S. and China.
