Huawei lawyers to grill Canada border agent in CFO’s US extradition case

VANCOUVER: A Canadian border agent who interrogated Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou before her arrest on a warrant from the United States two years ago will face more questions on Thursday in court about his interactions with police before her arrest.

Meng, 48, is accused of misrepresenting Huawei Technologies Co Ltd’s dealings with Iran, putting one of its lenders HSBC at risk of violating US trade sanctions.

She has denied the charges and mounted a defence, asking that her extradition be thrown out because of alleged collusion between Canadian and US authorities among other reasons.
