VANCOUVER - The United States has presented a “fatally flawed” case against Meng Wanzhou that is riddled with evidentiary gaps and doesn’t meet the threshold for extradition, one of the Huawei executive’s lawyers said Friday. Supreme Court to a request by the United States that the senior Chinese telecom executive be extradited to face charges of fraud in a New York court. But Gottardi told the judge that the United States, which is represented by lawyers for Canada’s attorney general in court, failed to make clear exactly how Meng’s actions amount to fraud. Frank Addario, another of Meng’s lawyers, said that the United States record of the case, upon which Canada relied to arrest Meng, contains “zero evidence” that either Skycom or Huawei violated sanctions. If HSBC violated sanctions by clearing payments through the United States, that was on the bank and not on Meng, the lawyers argued.
