The "heir" of the Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei, who was arrested last Saturday (01.12.2018) in Canada at the request of the USA, is accused by American justice of fraud.
Η Meng Wangzhou, who was arraigned in a Vancouver court today, allegedly lied to several banks about a Huawei subsidiary gaining access to the Iranian market, in violation of US sanctions on Tehran.
Meng herself had told American bankers that the Chinese giant had nothing to do with Skycom even though "Skycom is the Huawei", As stated by the prosecutor during this hearing.
The prosecutor suggested that the request of the 46-year-old, who asked to be released on parole, be rejected.
The United States has demanded Meng's extradition. According to the Canadian authorities, its financial director Huawei is accused of "conspiracy to commit fraud against several financial institutions" and risks being sentenced to more than 30 years in prison.
The Vancouver Supreme Court has initially barred details of disclosure that would be disclosed during the hearing. But then he lifted that ban.
Meng's arrest on December 1, at a time when the United States and China were announcing a "truce" in their trade war, has angered Beijing, which is calling for her immediate release.
