Huawei CFO's team expected to ask judge for adjournment in final extradition hearings
VANCOUVER — Lawyers for Meng Wanzhou are expected to ask a B.C. Supreme Court judge today to delay the final leg of hearings in her extradition case.
The court said in a statement last week that the Huawei
executive's application for an adjournment would be heard this morning.
The hearings were scheduled to begin April 26 and run for
three weeks.
They are expected to cover a final branch of abuse of
process allegations from Meng's team before moving on to arguments over remedy
and the actual extradition hearing.
Meng was arrested in 2018 at Vancouver's airport on a
request by the United States, where she faces fraud charges that both she and
the telecom company deny.
She is accused of lying to HSBC about Huawei's control of
another company doing business in Iran, putting the bank at risk of violating
U.S. sanctions.
