A lawyer for Canada’s attorney general says Meng Wanzhou’s legal team is omitting important information in the extradition case against her and is instead presenting an “alternative narrative,” as the formal hearing for the case is set to wrap up today.

Robert Frater told the British Columbia Supreme Court that Meng’s 2013 presentation to international bank HSBC omitted critical information about its control over Skycom, a company that sold computer equipment to Iran.
