Meng Wanzhou's extradition case opened in the British Columbia High Court in Canada again last night.In addition to whether the Canadian police abused law enforcement and whether the case was politicized, the legal dispute between the two sides opened up a new battlefield: HSBC Bank played what role did HSBC play in this case.

In simple terms, Meng Wanzhou had contact with HSBC in 2013.The United States believed that Meng Wanzhou lied to Huafeng's business matters on Huawei, and then asked the Canadian police to arrest Meng Wanzhou and extradite back to the United States.

At the hearings on June 15, local time, Meng Wanzhou's defense lawyer exposed the fierce material: the only key evidence of Meng Wanzhou's only was provided by HSBC.The United States' summary of this evidence missed major information and even had deliberate misleading behaviors.

Comprehensive Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and South China Morning Post, the defense stated that on August 22, 2013, Meng Wanzhou gave a PPT speech to a bank executive at HSBC in Hong Kong.The former introduced that Huawei had commercial cooperation with a company called Skycom in Iran, and Huawei was engaged in reasonable and ordinary business activities in the field of Iran's civil telecommunications.

First, the defense emphasized that Meng Wanzhou actually informed the necessary facts to HSBC, and the latter can determine whether there is risk in it.In other words, there is no so -called lying behavior.

Second, the defense pointed out that HSBC notified the high -level banks of Huawei and Skycom, and only junior employees knew.The defense statement stated that it was easily judged without high -level approval. The practice of HSBC is simply incredible. The lawyer team will provide the court with more evidence to prove that this is a major state of state.

Third, the United States claims that it is precisely because of Meng Wanzhou's deception that HSBC borrows $ 900 million in Huawei.In fact, there has never been no $ 900 million, and the defense memo wrote that the real loan amount was only $ 80 million.For this loan, Huawei was not used.

Fourth, when the U.S. prosecutor said that Skycom adopted the US dollar settlement channel when conducting commercial exchanges with Iranian companies to violate the so -called Iranian sanctions.In this regard, the defense pointed out that the statement of the US prosecutor's statement was extremely misleading, because it did not indicate that HSBC was fully capable of bypassing the US dollar settlement for transactions.In other words, it is entirely decided to not take the US dollar settlement.

It is worth mentioning that, as two key roles in this case, there is still a stake relationship between HSBC and the US government.

Memorandum Meng Wanzhou's lawyer team pointed out that in December 2012, HSBC Bank paid a fine of $ 1.9 billion in the US Department of Justice due to its own illegal acts, including violating US sanctions regulations on Iran, and signed with the United States with the United States.A suspension of prosecution agreement.The agreement includes one point: HSBC must obey the rules of the US's anti -money laundering field.

HSBC Bank is not new to Huawei's knife behind Huawei.Many media have been exposed, and HSBC has been investigating Huawei as early as 2016.Reuters even hinted that HSBC was suspected of being pressured by the United States.For example, HSBC's survey of Huawei was launched from the end of 2016 to 2017.At that time, HSBC was trying to let the US Department of Justice withdrawn for criminal allegations facing the bank itself for violation of US sanctions.In addition, the Financial Times also revealed in July last year that HSBC did provide information and help to Huawei for the US Department of Justice.After reporting Huawei, HSBC no longer was sued by the US government for suspected illegal cases.

Huawei CEO Ren Zhengfei personally refuted HSBC in June 2019.He pointed out that the bank had clearly knew Skycom's business in Iran from the beginning and also knew the relationship between Skycom and Huawei.The email between Huawei and the bank can prove that there is also a bank logo on it.So from a legal perspective, the bank cannot say that they have been deceived or unknown.These evidences are all there, which cannot be lost.

In addition to the issue of HSBC, the Meng Wanzhou defense team also pointed out last night that the case was highly political.Middot; Peck said that US President Trump had said that he could intervene in the Meng Wanzhou case, and we were shocked.

Meng Wanzhou's defense team also pointed out that the Canadian police have the problem of abuse of law enforcement.In this regard, Observer Network quoted multiple documents last year. In the process of arresting Meng Wanzhou in the process of arresting Meng Wanzhou, the Canadian law enforcement department not only violated the order of the national court, but deliberately delayed 3 hours to arrest Meng Wanzhou.Within 3 hours, the Canadian law enforcement agency illegally forced Meng Wanzhou to hand over mobile phone information and share it with the Federal Investigation Agency.

The Canadian British Columbia High Court originally plans to arrange a trial on law enforcement issues in the near future. However, after the defense proposed the vulnerability of new prosecution evidence, the judge stated that he should conduct adequate inspections of US evidence and then review law enforcement issues.However, lawyer Meng Wanzhou believes that the evidence should be discussed first, and expressed the hope that the trial of the case can be carried out in accordance with the original plan.
