The US says in court documents that Huawei allegedly operated a de facto unit called DirectPoint in Sudan and Canicula in Syria

Vancouver — Huawei used code names and secret subsidiaries to conduct business in Syria, Sudan and Iran, the US alleged in the extradition case related to sanctions violations against the company’s CFO.

Huawei operated those units just as it controlled a subsidiary in Iran that obtained US goods, technologies and services in violation of US sanctions, according to the allegations. “The motivation for these misrepresentations stemmed from Huawei’s need to move money out of countries that are subject to US or EU sanctions — such as Iran, Syria, or Sudan — through the international banking system,” the justice department said in its request for Canada to arrest Meng as she arrived at Vancouver’s airport last December.
