A top Huawei executive fails to persuade a Canadian judge to end extradition proceedings that could send her to the U.S. for prosecution.

Huawei Technologies Co. Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou failed to persuade a Canadian judge to end extradition proceedings, keeping her under house arrest in Vancouver as she fights U.S. efforts to prosecute her on fraud charges.

. The Justice Department charged her with conspiring to defraud banks by tricking them into conducting transactions that violated U.S. restrictions on selling technology to Iran.Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes of the British Columbia Supreme Court on Wednesday dismissed Meng’s request to throw out the case, ruling that it meets a key test of Canada’s extradition law known as double criminality — or whether the alleged crime in the U.S. would also be a crime in Canada.

Meng’s approach “would seriously limit Canada’s ability to fulfill its international obligations in the extradition context for fraud ... ” Holmes wrote. “For the double-criminality principle to be applied in the manner Ms. Meng suggests would give fraud an artificially narrow scope in the extradition context.”The judge’s decision helps clarify an issue that’s been in the spotlight in Canada because of the Huawei litigation, said Brian Heller, a criminal defense lawyer not involved in the case.

After issuing her decision, Holmes canceled hearings that were scheduled for June and will announce a new timetable next week. In the weeks after her arrest, China arrested two Canadians, halted billions of dollars in Canadian imports and put two other Canadians on death row, plunging China-Canada relations into their darkest period in decades.
