The defence lawyer for Huawei’s CFO grilled a Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) officer for evidence to throw out the request for Meng Wanzhou’s extradition to the United States.

Mona Duckett, the defence lawyer for Meng, cross-examined CBSA officer Sanjit Dhillon during the Nov. 17 evidentiary hearing at the B.C. Supreme Court. Duckett said Canadian and United States authorities used the CBSA to question Meng without informing her that she was charged with bank fraud.
