Lawyers for Meng Wanzhou are back in a Vancouver court amid speculation over a proposed plea agreement with the United States

BY , Dec 7, 2020 6:21 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou are back in a Vancouver court today amid a swirl of speculation over a proposed plea agreement with the United States.

A Wall Street Journal report said US officials were discussing an agreement that would see Meng admit some guilt over allegations she violated American sanctions against Iran, charges she's always denied.

Today's BC Supreme Court hearing was scheduled to gather evidence based on her lawyer's claims of an abuse of process by police and Canada Border Services agents when she was arrested two years ago.

Meng's arrest at the Vancouver airport has created friction between Canada and China, however Canadian officials aren't commenting on the reports of the plea deal.
