Canadian judge agrees to delay Meng Wanzhou extradition hearings

Huawei CFO’s lawyers had asked for three-month delay in US extradition case to review newly released banking documents.

A judge in Canada has agreed to delay hearings in the case against Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou, who is facing extradition to the United States. Meng’s lawyers earlier this week had asked the British Columbia Supreme Court to delay final arguments in the case until August to allow them to review documents that were recently released by Huawei’s bank. The documents were released in a settlement reached in Hong Kong between the Chinese telecommunications giant and HSBC.
