LIVE UPDATES: Lawyers for Canada's attorney general argue for extradition of Meng Wanzhou

Last Updated Wednesday, January 22, 2020 2:56PM ESTVANCOUVER -- Lawyers representing the Canadian attorney general say the fraud case against Meng Wanzhou is not "complex" and a British Columbia Supreme Court judge should commit her for extradition.

The defence wrapped its arguments on double criminality on Tuesday, saying the allegations don't amount to fraud in Canada because the country has no such sanctions and the bank wouldn't have faced any financial risk. HSBC faced significant reputational risk for processing Iran-related transactions because it was already operating under a deferred prosecution agreement for doing business in Libya, Sudan and Burma, he says.

At the same time, Frater argues that the case law does allow the judge to apply American sanctions law in a limited way as part of the relevant context, in order to understand the risk faced by HSBC.
