VANCOUVER, May 27 (Reuters) - Huawei Technologies Co Ltd's
Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou has lost a key
aspect of the trial on her extradition to the United States, a
Canadian court announced on Wednesday.
The judge sided with the Canadian prosecutors in ruling that
the legal standard of double criminality had been met, meaning
the U.S. charges against Meng are also crimes in Canada.
The United States has charged Meng with bank fraud and
misleading HSBC about a Huawei-owned company's dealings
with Iran - was also illegal in Canada at the time of her
December 2018 arrest.
The ruling paves the way for the extradition hearing to
proceed to the second phase starting June.
