Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou returned to British Columbia Supreme Court on Monday along with her lawyers to press for her extradition case.
Meng was arrested by Canadian police on December 1, 2018, at Vancouver's airport at the request of the United States, which is seeking her extradition on fraud charges. Both Meng and Huawei have repeatedly denied those charges.
At Monday's hearing, attorney Richard Peck alleged that Canadian authorities delayed Meng's arrest in an effort to collect evidence for U.S. authorities, conducting a "covert criminal investigation" in the process.
Peck also suggested Meng's electronic devices were improperly searched at the airport. Peck said these actions violated his client's civil rights, an "abuse of process" the defense believes should halt her extradition proceedings.
Meng's defense team is also requesting more disclosure surrounding her detention at the airport, including video and contacts between U.S. and Canadian authorities, which her lawyers claim were extensive prior to her eventual arrest.
Besides accusations of misconduct related to her detention, Meng's lawyers argue the United States is using her for economic and political gain, noting that after her arrest, U.S. President Donald Trump said he would intervene if it would help close a trade deal.
These hearings are scheduled to last through October 4th. Meng's extradition hearing is currently scheduled to start in January 2020.
On Monday, Huawei released a video in which spokesman Benjamin Howes says the company believes Meng is innocent of all allegations and has every confidence that "she will be vindicated in keeping with the independence and fairness of the Canadian judicial process".
