FILE PHOTO: Huawei Technologies Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou leaves her home to attend a court hearing in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada May 27, 2020.In new court filings in her battle against extradition to the United States, Meng Wanzhou is accusing the U.S. government of not only using her as a bargaining chip in negotiations with China, but also misleading Canada’s government and courts about the evidence gathered against her.
In new court filings, Ms. Meng is challenging key elements of the U.S. case against her, flagging several instances where she alleges that the Americans are distorting the facts to suit their case. She is targeting documents submitted by U.S. prosecutors to describe the evidence supporting the American extradition request.
Ms. Meng’s legal team is taking aim at a key piece of evidence that the U.S. government has cited to make its case that the Huawei CFO lied: an August, 2013 PowerPoint presentation consisting of 16 slides that Ms. Meng delivered to HSBC bankers in Hong Kong.The U.S. government, her lawyers say, has misled the B.C. Supreme Court by selectively quoting from this PowerPoint, a copy of which is included in the submission to the court.
Ms. Meng’s lawyers say these omissions and misrepresentations are serious. The U.S. “conduct fell so far below the expected standard of diligence, candour and accuracy to constitute a serious breach of process,” they say. Ms. Meng’s latest filings also cite a December, 2019 statement by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to bolster her argument that the U.S. extradition effort is tainted.
We're not even close to being finished with this pile of dog sh!t. Dark days ahead for her and China as well
Do you really think China is a fair and just society? Tell me another story.
A shameless cheater accuses the independent justice system of U.S. and Canada, what a joke she talked about, does she think it's China where she can do whatever she wants through her dirty wealthy?
Send her to the US stop spending tax payers money.
Oh, please. Anyone with ties to the Chinese government is not to be trusted. 🙄
I still say put her under oath and let the nortel pensioners sue het over the theft of nortel patents.
In a power-based int'l order, Cda still has to learn how to regain its intl influence, but in the China-US showdown, we're firmly against Chinese tyranny at home and increasingly hostile foreign policy. Rule of law still means something.
Garbage media and garbage reporters!
She’s like, “yea I did something wrong but not THOSE THINGS” 😂
Go away, stop posting this face.
