A lawyer for Meng Wanzhou on Friday accused a Canadian border official of colluding with federal police to obtain passcodes to theCanada Border Services Agency officer Scott Kirkland interrogated the Huawei chief financial officer for three hours during a stopover at the Vancouver airport in December 2018.
“I’m suggesting you and the RCMP coordinated your effort to be able to allow the CBSA to use their statutory mandate to obtain evidence that would be of assistance to other law enforcement,” defence lawyer Mona Duckett said to Kirkland.“I can’t comprehend why I would want to do that, knowing multiple eyes are going to be on this case.
“It was heart-wrenching to realize I’d made that mistake,” he said about handing over the codes to federal police.
