A lawyer for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou says she should not be extradited to the United States to face fraud charges because her alleged misconduct doesn't amount to fraud in Canada.

Scott Fenton told a British Columbia Supreme Court judge on the second day of Meng's extradition hearing that people can't be convicted of fraud in Canada unless their misrepresentations cause harm or a risk of harm.

The hearing in Vancouver this week is focused on the legal test of double criminality, meaning that Meng's alleged conduct must also be illegal in Canada for her to be extradited to the United States. Fenton says the only risk HSBC faced was in the United States because of its "peculiar" sanctions that are "out of step" with Canada and the rest of the international community.

Meng denies the allegations and is free on bail and living in one of her two multimillion-dollar homes in Vancouver. The judge has allowed her to sit behind her lawyers at a desk, rather than in the prisoner's box, so she and her Mandarin interpreter can better follow proceedings.

let her go ...

Ship her off to US

Was fraud elsewhere! Americans pressed charges and she landed in Canada where there are extradition laws! At least that is how I understand it.

Trudope will give her 10 million even if she is guilty ...

Unprecedented Meng Wanzhou extradition hearing begins Monday with wide-ranging consequencesEver since the RCMP arrested the Huawei executive on Dec. 1, 2018, Canada has been caught between two superpowers – the United States, which requested Ms. Meng’s extradition, and China, which calls the request politically motivated Release her, US wants 5G dominance. Full Stop. Call this what you wish but it is at the very root, simply a 'favor' to the U.S. of A. who is NOT treating Canada fairly . . . just let her go with agreement from China to release the two Canadian 'hostages' . . . Withholding Meng in Canada does no difference to Huawei's development. Our utmost priority should be getting our own people home.
