judge has rejected Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou's attempt to submit a trove of banking evidence in her legal battle against extradition to the United States on fraud charges. Meng faces fraud charges over allegedly misleading investment bank HSBC about a Huawei subsidiary's activities in Iran, which the U.S. said violated sanctions. Huawei chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou is fighting extradition to the United States. She had hoped the newly obtained HSBC evidence would help toss her two-and-a-half year Canadian legal battle. "The offence of fraud advanced by the [U.S.] is implicated fatally by the new evidence," lawyers said.
