VANCOUVER – Lawyers for Huawei‘s chief financial officer say the United States has acted in bad faith in the extradition process of Meng Wanzhou and the British Columbia Supreme Court should stay proceedings against her.
In the documents presented to the court on Wednesday, her lawyers claim the United States mischaracterized and omitted evidence to establish a case of fraud when requesting the extradition of Meng from Canada.
The documents say misleading evidence undermines both the fairness of the extradition hearing and the integrity of the judicial system.
