The judge in Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou’s extradition hearing continued to press her lawyers Tuesday on questions surrounding the issue of double criminality.

In the first stage of the hearing, the lawyers for the Huawei executive and the federal Crown, acting on behalf of U.S. authorities seeking Meng’s extradition, are addressing the question of whether the crime that Meng is alleged to have committed in the U.S. is also a crime in Canada. The double-criminality test must be met before an individual in Canada can be extradited to another country.

Meng, who was arrested in Vancouver in December 2018, is being sought for extradition over allegations she committed fraud when, during a meeting at a Hong Kong restaurant in 2013, she told the HSBC bank that her company had no links with a subsidiary of the Chinese tech giant that was allegedly violating U.S trade sanctions in Iran. The Huawei CFO and daughter of the company founder is alleged to have lied in order to protect her firm’s multimillion-dollar financial dealings with the bank.

Her lawyers are claiming that there was no fraudulent conduct because there are no equivalent Canadian sanctions against Iran.

On Monday, B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes put a hypothetical question to defence lawyer Eric Gottardi, which she said would help her understand the nature of the fraud being alleged.
