The Huawei CFO is ‘seeking damages for misfeasance in public office and false imprisonment’
Chinese telecoms giant Huawei's CFO, Meng Wanzhou, has filed suit against Canadian authorities for violating her constitutional rights when she was arrested in Vancouver, her lawyers said Sunday.
Meng was changing planes in Vancouver when she was detained at Washington's request on suspicion of violating US sanctions on Iran — sparking arrests of Canadians in China that were seen as retaliatory. During those three hours, the customs officers searched her phones and computers as well as her luggage, in violation of her rights, the lawyers said.
The US justice department accuses Huawei and its CFO of circumventing US sanctions against Iran, but also, via two affiliates, stealing trade secrets from US telecommunications group T-Mobile.
