Huawei lawyers ask Canada court to stay extradition of CFO Meng Wanzhou: Documents

TORONTO - Lawyers for Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies, have applied to a Canadian court for stays of the proceedings for her extradition to the United States, documents released on Thursday showed.

In requests partly based on what the lawyers call a destruction of the integrity of the judicial process by US President Donald Trump and senior members of his administration, they cite an intention to use Meng"as a bargaining chip in a trade dispute". Meng was arrested in December 2018 at the Vancouver International Airport on a warrant from the United States.

US authorities accuse her of bank fraud for misleading HSBC about Huawei's ties to a company operating in Iran, putting HSBC at risk of fines and penalties for breaking US sanctions on Tehran.
