Judge Rules Extradition Trial for Huawei CFO Can Continue

A Canadian judge has ruled that the U.S. extradition case against Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou can move forward. Canadian authorities arrested Meng in 2018 at the request of the U.S., which has charged her with bank fraud and violating U.S. sanctions against Iran. Following a hearing in January, the judge ruled on Wednesday the case did indeed meet the standard for "double criminality," meaning the U.S. charges can also be considered crimes in Canada.
