On August 4, local time, Huawei’s vice chairman and chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou’s extradition case opened again in the Canadian High Court of British Columbia in Vancouver.
This world-renowned case thus entered the final round of trial before the trial judge made the first extradition verdict.
Meng Wanzhou himself attended the trial.
According to the schedule, this round of court hearings are scheduled to last until August 20.
The court will focus on three aspects: discussing the third branch of "procedural abuse" advocated by Meng Wanzhou’s defense lawyer team; discussing the judicial remedies advocated by the defense; and finally, the court will enter the detention pending trial, focusing on the adequacy of US evidence For the problem, the defense responds to the prosecution's claim.
After this round of trial, the prosecution and defense will wait for the judge to make a decision on whether to extradite Meng Wanzhou to the United States.
It is expected that the judge will make a judgment at an elective date.
After the presiding judge makes a judgment in the future, both the prosecution and the defense will have the opportunity to appeal.
If the judge makes an extradition ruling, the case will be handed over to the Canadian Attorney General to decide whether to sign a transfer order.
In late June, Meng Wanzhou applied to the court to accept the documents obtained from the Hong Kong and Shanghai Banking Corporation as new evidence.
However, the trial judge rendered a verdict on July 9 and rejected the defense's request.
