Lawyers for Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of China’s top telecom equipment producer Huawei, have petitioned Canada’s justice minister to end the ongoing proceedings to extradite her to the U.S.
Meng, a daughter of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd.’s founder Ren Zhengfei, was arrested in December in Vancouver at the request of the U.S. Justice Department over alleged fraud in connection with U.S. sanctions over Iran. She is out on $7.46 million bail in Vancouver, facing an extradition hearing in the Supreme Court of British Columbia scheduled to begin in January.
