Canada Spy Agency Warns Of 'Shock Waves' From Arrest of Huawei Founder's Daughter
On Friday, June 12, Canada's intelligence agency released a report saying how dangerous for countries that the Chinese billionaire Huawei Founder's daughter got arrested in an airport. Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei Technologies Co Ltd. and the daughter of the Huawei founder Ren Zheng, was arrested at Vancouver International Airport on Dec. 2018 due to the United States extradition case filed against her in connection to alleged charges on defrauding banks. "This planned event will be of great consequence internationally and bilaterally," as predicted by the Canadian intelligence agency. The Canadian spy agency said, "The arrest is likely to send shockwaves around the world," the agency said. Wanzhou was arrested on an extradition warrant after arriving in Canada on a flight from Hong Kong. She was charged with fraud in the country after allegations said that she lied to an HSBC banker in 2013 about the telecommunication giant's control of a company that violated U.S. economic sanctions against Iran. When the arrest was made, Wanzhou accused the Canadian police, border officials, and the FBI of coordinating secretly to question her for hours and obtain passwords to her electronic devices, before even filing the report. The CSIS admitted that the arrest was made at the request of the U.S Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), saying "advanced communication to CSIS came from the FBI." Wanzhou's lawyers said that the arrest was made to conspire and just pin the crimes against their client. As of now, Wanzhou is still under home arrest after she released on $10 billion bail. She is staying in Vancouver and cannot go outside the country due to the case.
