Huawei CFO's US extradition case begins final weeks of hearings in Canadian court

VANCOUVER: Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou is returning to a Canadian courtroom on Wednesday for the final weeks of her U.S. extradition hearings, as the legal proceedings running more than two years draw to a close.

The upcoming hearings, expected to last until Aug. 20, will initially focus on the third part of her lawyers' arguments, specifically that U.S. prosecutors materially misrepresented the case against her in their extradition request to Canada. Hearings will then move to the remedy stage, which will address Meng's allegations that abuses of process occurred during her arrest. After that, a committal hearing, to determine whether there is sufficient evidence against Meng for her to stand trial, will take place.A spokesperson for Canada's Department of Justice said on Tuesday Meng will continue to be afforded a fair process in accordance with Canadian law.
