VANCOUVER/TORONTO: Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou arrived at a Canada courtroom on Monday for the first of five days of witness testimony, the latest round of hearings as Canada seeks to extradite her to the United States on charges of bank fraud.
Cross-examinations this week will largely comprise Meng's team focusing on the alleged involvement of U.S. officials in her arrest, omissions or improper disclosures from Canada, and discrepancies between RCMP officers' affidavits and emails that Canada's Justice Department was forced to disclose, a source familiar with Huawei's strategy said. The source was not authorized to speak publicly.
"You don't normally get much by way of disclosure and even less often, way less often, do you get the right to cross-examine witnesses," Adler said.
