Canadian judge adjourns case that will decide whether Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou should be extradited to US

A Canadian judge said on Thursday she will announce her decision at a later date after she ended the first phase of an extradition hearing that will decide whether a top executive of Chinese tech giant Huawei is sent to the United States.

Canada arrested Huawei's chief financial officer in December 2018 at Vancouver's airport at the request of the US as she was changing flights. On Thursday, Canadian Department of Justice lawyer Robert Frater told Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes that fraud is at the heart of the case and by lying to the bank, Meng put the bank at risk.

In his closing summation, defence lawyer Richard Peck reiterated the defence argument that sanctions, not fraud, are the essence of the case.If the judge rules she finds that what Meng is charged with is not a crime in Canada, Meng will be free to leave Canada.
