Canada says border officials followed rules in Huawei arrest

VANCOUVER: Canada’s attorney general said Monday that officials followed the law when they detained a top Chinese tech executive at Vancouver’s airport and the defense has no proof to substantiate its “conspiracy theory” that she was illegally arrested.

The attorney general said in court documents released Monday there is no evidence to suggest the Royal Canadian Mounted Police or the FBI asked border agents to elicit information from Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou during her detention.
