VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) – Meng Wanzhou has been officially charged two months after she was arrested at the Vancouver Airport. The U.S. Justice Department released a 13-count indictment against her, telecom giant Huawei, and two subsidiaries. Charges include bank and wire fraud, and conspiring to obstruct a grand jury. Prosecutors claim that the telecom giant used a Hong Kong company to sell equipment in Iran.

“It’s important to understand that Miss. Meng has been charged based upon her own personal conduct and not because of actions or misconduct by other Huawei employees,” said United States Attorney for the Eastern District of New York Richard Donoghue. This comes as the U.S. seeks to extradite Wanzhou, who was placed under house arrest in Vancouver. Her arrest early last month has prompted unrest between Ottawa and Beijing. |
