HSBC and Huawei CFO reach documents deal amid extradition case

Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou has been seeking documents from HSBC in her fight against extradition from Canada to the US.

HSBC and Huawei Technologies’ Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou have reached an agreement in a dispute about the publication of documents relating to fraud allegations in the United States against her, their lawyers told a Hong Kong court. The judge, Linda Chan, made court orders along the lines of the agreement, she said on Monday. The orders were, however, not immediately available. The legal dispute reached the Hong Kong court last month after a British judge in February blocked the release of internal HSBC documents relating to the fraud allegations against Meng.
