“Canadian authorities arrested Huawei Technologies Co. finance chief Meng Wanzhou because of U.S. concerns that she fraudulently covered up Huawei’s control of a company called Skycom that was doing business in Iran, a Canadian prosecutor said Friday.
At a bail hearing for Ms. Meng in a Canadian court in Vancouver, John Gibb-Carsley, the Canadian prosecutor, said Ms. Meng misled financial institutions about the connection between Huawei and Skycom at a time when there were sanctions against Iran, saying there was no relationship.
In fact, he said, Huawei and Skycom were the same company. “This is the crux, I say, of the alleged fraud,” Mr. Gibb-Carsley said.
Ms. Meng served on the board of Skycom, a Hong Kong-based firm with business in Iran, from February 2008 to April 2009, Hong Kong corporate records show. “
Trust me. The US government would probably like to avoid this trial. It wouldn’t surprise me if Canada wanted to set us up the bomb.
Trump should warn every judge that they better not set a bail amount. She’ll be back in China in a day. Outa sight, outa mind.
