VANCOUVER - Huawei Technologies Co's chief financial officer allegedly told a Canadian border official that the company has an office in Iran - an assertion potentially buttressing US claims that the Chinese tech giant engaged in activities there that violated US sanctions.
The case against Meng - daughter of the company's billionaire founder Ren Zhengfei - is part of a broader US crackdown on the networking giant. The Trump administration has barred Huawei from trading with American suppliers, putting the company at the centre of an escalating trade war between the US and China.
Her defence seeks to have the court throw out the extradition case arguing that Meng was unlawfully detained, searched and interrogated instead of being immediately arrested.
