Story:
In December 2018, Huawei founder’s daughter and deputy chairwoman Meng Wanzhou was detained at Vancouver International Airport by Canada Border Services Agency officers.
Later on, she was arrested for a U.S. extradition request for allegations of fraud and conspiracy in circumventing U.S. sanctions on Iran. In the following year, the U.S. Department of Justice formally announced fraud charges against Ms. Meng.
The first stage of the extradition hearing began in January 2020 and concluded in May. It’s when the Canadian supreme court ordered kicked off the extradition process.
However, Ms. Meng’s lawyer made several serious allegations against the authorities involved in the detention process. The entire detention is unlawful and based on fabricated charges.
On September 24, 2021, the U.S. department of justice announced to make a deal with Meng Wanzhou to resolve the case through a deferred prosecution agreement. However, she was not charged with a fine or pleaded guilty to the allegations and charges.
In December last year, U.S. DOJ dismissed all charges against Meng before December 21, 2022.
Interestingly, it was a well-set case plot for Huawei CFO and all of the charges were resolved in an instant, which took at around 2 years to form. However, Meng Wanzhou is at her homeground and working for the company to lead it towards success.
