Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou freed by judge, ending two-year extradition ordeal

TORONTO. A Canadian court scrapped a long-running extradition case against a top Huawei Technologies Co. executive, a major step toward resolving an unprecedented diplomatic tussle between the US, China and Canada that landed two Canadians in Chinese jails.

Supreme Court of British Columbia Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes discharged Meng Wanzhou, Huawei’s chief financial officer, after Meng struck a deferred prosecution agreement with US authorities.

Meng — who has been under house arrest since December 2018 — is now free to return home.
