VANCOUVER, British Columbia (CN) Canadian prosecutors fired back at Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou’s legal team’s claims of unfairness in her extradition hearing Thursday, arguing that comments made by former President Donald Trump did not affect the hearing.
The British Columbia Supreme Court continued to hear arguments over evidence and abuse of process allegations related to the United States’ bid to have her face fraud charges in New York.
“The facts relied on by my friends have in no way affected the fairness of this hearing,” prosecutor Robert Frater told the court Thursday morning. “They’ve had a hearing which has observed and continues to observe the highest standard of fairness.”

VANCOUVER, March 4 (Reuters) - Canadian prosecutors told a court on Thursday that a judge was not best-placed to decide whether national security and geopolitical concerns can be used to strike down the request by the United States to extradite Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou.
Meng, 49, was arrested in December 2018 on a U.S. warrant accused of misleading HSBC about Huawei’s business dealings in Iran, putting the bank at risk of violating U.S. sanctions. She has said she is innocent and is fighting her extradition case from under house arrest in Vancouver.
By Sarah Berman and Moira Warburton VANCOUVER (Reuters) - Canadian prosecutors told a court on Thursday that a judge was not best-placed to decide whether national security and geopolitical concerns can be used to strike down the request by the United States to extradite Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou. Meng, 49, was arrested in December 2018 on a U.S. warrant accused of misleading HSBC about Huawei s business dealings in Iran, putting the bank at risk of violating U.S. sanctions. She has said she is innocent and is fighting her extradition case from under house arrest in Vancouver. Prosecutors argued on Thursday that if Meng has become a bargaining chip in a trade war between the United States and China, as her lawyers have claimed, then Canada s minister of justice is the right person to decide that, not a judge.
