Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou's lawyers accuse Canada federal police of lying

Huawei Chief Financial Officer, Meng Wanzhou, leaves the British Columbia Supreme Court, in Vancouver, Canada. VANCOUVER: A defence lawyer for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou accused a Canadian policeman on Wednesday of giving a"not honest" reply during the ongoing hearing on whether the Chinese national should be extradited to the US.

Yep testified this week that he did not immediately arrest Meng when her flight landed in Vancouver because of"safety reasons," telling the court she might have had a knife, secret bodyguards or even"counter-surveillance" agents with her.AdvertisementBut defence lawyer Richard Peck in a cross-examination on Wednesay said,"My view is that's not an honest answer. Safety was never an issue; that's my suggestion to you.

The defence contends that Canadian authorities conspired with the US to delay Meng's arrest and obtain information that could be used at trial, in violation of her rights - which Canada rejects."Initially, RCMP thought would stand by gate to arrest ," Peck said, quoting from RCMP notes on her detention."And had that happened, she would have been arrested at the gate... and given her Charter rights.
