Meng’s lawyers asked court to quash bid to send Chinese executive to U.S.
Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Huawei, leaves home to attend her extradition hearing at B.C. Supreme Court, in Vancouver, on Aug. 6.A lawyer for Chinese business executive Meng Wanzhou told a B.C. Supreme Court judge on Friday that the court has a duty to “police” the conduct of the United States by determining whether it manipulated evidence in an attempt to obtain Ms. Meng’s extradition.
The defence has asked the judge to determine that this constitutes an abuse of process and quash the extradition request. He also mentioned the two examples that were front-and-centre on Thursday: that Ms. Meng had told HSBC during the Power Point presentation that Skycom was “controllable” by Huawei; and that the two worked together as partners on sales and services, while complying with U.S. sanctions on Iran.
