(Vancouver Peng Bodian) Canadian judge ruled that Meng Wanzhou, chief financial officer of Chinese technology giant Huawei, could submit more evidence to support serious defects to support the US extradition request and should not be accepted.
According to Bloomberg, British Columbia Supreme Court Justice Heather Holmes said in a written ruling announced the day before yesterday that Meng Wanzhou will be allowed to submit some of the evidence she requested, and Homs also calls them among them.Some evidence can indeed challenge the validity of the US extradition request.
The United States accused Meng Wanzhou (48 years old) misleading HSBC Holdings and seduced HSBC to conduct a transaction with Iran, which led the bank to face the risk of violating sanctions.At the request of the United States, the Canadian authorities arrested Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver Airport in December the year before.
The defense claims that the United States' requests and their proof documents are very inaccurate, which constitutes an abuse of procedures, which is serious enough to make the court rejection of extradition case.
The prosecution tried to stop this strategy in September, and said that Meng Wanzhou's allegations did not reach the threshold for discussing the matter.
However, Holmes rejected the prosecution's request to stop the defense strategy and allow Meng Wanzhou to submit two key evidence.
The defense said that these evidences include a batch of emails to show that HSBC's business relationship with Huawei in Iran is very clear, and it is impossible to be misled by Meng Wanzhou in this regard.
Another evidence is an excerpt of the 2012 post -prosecution agreement.The US Department of Justice mentioned in the excerpt that if HSBC knows the relevant situation in the future but still violates the sanctions, the Ministry of Justice can restore criminal allegations against HSBC.
