Huawei executive seeks to introduce documents at extradition trial

Vancouver: Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on Tuesday sought to admit into evidence at her extradition trial documents they say could exonerate her from US fraud and corruption charges.

The daughter of the company’s founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei is accused by US prosecutors of misrepresenting to HSBC bank close links between Huawei and a company that sold telecoms equipment to Iran in violation of US sanctions.

She has denied hiding Huawei’s relationship with Skycom, a former subsidiary, from HSBC.
