Ms. Manh Van Chu for a time leaving home to hear the trial of her extradition to the United States
On December 4, the Reuters news agency quoted a person with knowledge of the matter as saying that negotiations between Manh’s lawyer and the US Department of Justice took place just after the presidential elections ended.
Ms. Manh was arrested in Vancouver, Canada in December 2018 at the request of the US while serving as Global Chief Financial Officer (CFO) of Huawei Group (China). She was accused of circumventing US sanctions to do business in Iran through front agencies, hiding the Bank. HSBC on Huawei’s transactions in Iran caused this bank to suffer.
The trials on whether to extradite the daughter of Huawei’s founder to the United States have been tense, but have gone nowhere. Ms. Meng firmly denied the allegations, insisting that she did nothing wrong.
Reuters sources said that the “Huawei princess” abandonment agreement does not appear to be included in another broader agreement between the United States and Huawei.
The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which first reported on the agreement between the Meng law group and the United States, said Ms Manh would be released to China if she admitted to the US allegations.
The WSJ source also said that Huawei’s CFO She will be asked to admit some of the charges, in return, prosecutors will agree to delay the processing and cancel the charges if she cooperates. This flavor speculated Ms. Manh may be reluctant to plead guilty to be released.
The daughter of the Huawei founder was allowed out on bail after posting a $ 7.5 million bond. He was allowed to live in a large family mansion, but was under the supervision of the Canadian authorities.
Justice Department spokesman Marc Raimondi declined to comment. Huawei did not immediately respond to Reuters reports. The Office of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian Foreign Office were not available for comment.
Relations between China and Canada have deteriorated following the arrest of Ms. Meng. Two Canadian citizens were detained in China for violating the country’s national security, a move that observers see as retaliation and pressure from Beijing on Ottawa.
