The Huawei chief financial officer has since been undergoing extradition proceedings in a Canadian court, which is deciding whether to send her to the United States to face bank fraud charges.

The formal arrest and charges against Kovrig and Spavor were first reported by the Globe and Mail newspaper on Thursday.
