Huawei’s CFO Meng Wanzhou is before the BC Supreme Court Monday on a hearing intended to decide whether wire and phone fraud charges alleged by the US government would be prosecutable in Canada. It is a litmus test for extradition between the two countries. Washington claims Ms. Meng lied about violating US sanctions against Iran. She has been living a comfortable life in Vancouver since 2018 when she gained a bail of $7.5 million and offered to wear an electronic GPS ankle bracelet and pay for her own 24-hour monitoring through a private surveillance firm. She is seen wearing the device in her always stylish manner. It seems like the ultimate fashion statement for the wealthy Chinese business executive who will be 48 in February. CBC
