VANCOUVER—Canadian prosecutors are expected to defend on Jan. 22 their case to extradite Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou to the United States saying Meng was arrested on charges of bank fraud, which is a crime in both countries, and not because of U.S. sanctions against Iran as argued by the defense.
Meng’s legal team continued its defense during the first phase of the extradition hearing on Tuesday, with lawyers arguing for a second straight day that “double criminality“ is at the heart of the U.S. extradition request.
