(CN) The United States is not attempting an unlawful “territorial power grab” by trying to extradite Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou for fraud, since her alleged conduct has an “overwhelming” connection to the country and therefore should be tried in a U.S. court, Canadian prosecutors said Thursday in British Columbia Supreme Court.
Hitting back at Meng’s defense team’s claims that the U.S. extradition bid violates international law, a lawyer for the Attorney General of Canada said Meng’s lawyers are in “denial” of the facts underlying the case.

VANCOUVER (Reuters) - A branch of arguments in Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou’s bid to stop her extradition to the United States from Canada ended on Thursday with a prosecutor saying her lawyers had an “impoverished” view of the facts over their assertion U.S. authorities violated international law.

Meng, 49, was arrested at Vancouver International Airport in December 2018 on a U.S. warrant for bank fraud. She is accused of misleading HSBC about Huawei’s business dealings in Iran, putting the bank at risk of violating U.S. sanctions.
