The final stage hearing in a Canadian court over whether to hand over the vice chairman of Huawei, a major Chinese telecommunications equipment maker arrested in Canada three years ago, to the United States ended on the 18th. ..
This means that the deadline for judgment will be announced on October 21st.
Meng Wanzhou, vice chairman of Huawei, a major Chinese telecommunications equipment maker, was arrested in Canada at the request of the United States in December 2018 for dealing with Iran, which is imposing economic sanctions by the United States, and has since been scammed. Was charged by the US Department of Justice.
The U.S. government has requested that the person be handed over, but Canada prohibits the person from being handed over unless the act accused in the United States is considered illegal under domestic law, and the character of Vice Chairman Meng on bail. A final hearing has been held in a Canadian court to decide whether or not to hand over.
At the hearing held on the 18th, the defense pleaded not guilty again, while the Canadian prosecutor argued that Vice Chairman Meng's actions should be judged for fraud, and the hearing ended.
The court will set a deadline for the decision on October 21st.
Following the conclusion of the hearing, Huawei announced comments such as "I am confident in the innocence of Vice Chairman Meng and trust the Canadian judicial system."
