Canadian prosecutors are set to present their argument after Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou’s lawyers sought to add a new charge in their effort to stop her extradition to the United States

The second day of hearing is the latest in a series of Meng’s extradition case taking place in British Columbia Supreme Court. On Monday, Meng’s lawyers argued to add an additional allegation in the abuse of power by Canadian and U.S. authorities during her arrest. The hearings - which are expected to last until Wednesday - are referred to as Vukelich hearings, meaning the judge must decide whether the defence’s latest allegation is plausible enough to be worth fully litigating.
Scott Fenton, a lawyer for Meng, argued on Monday that the United States “misdescribed the facts to construct a stronger case of alleged fraud” when it requested that Canada arrest Meng on its behalf in December 2018.
