According to CCTV news, local time 12, BBC reported that the lawyer of Meng Wanzhou, the chief financial officer of Huawei in China, would file a lawsuit in London High Court to obtain key documents of HSBC, including account books.
According to reports, Huawei's move is intended to prove that the US accusation that Meng Wanzhou "concealed" Huawei's contact with Hong Kong Xingtong Technology Co., Ltd. and misled HSBC to continue to provide services for Huawei is not valid, thus preventing Meng Wanzhou from being extradited from Canada to the United States.
According to the report, Huawei will apply to the High Court of London for obtaining key documents such as HSBC account books in accordance with the Bank Bookkeeping Evidence Law. According to the Act, parties may seek court orders to obtain, inspect and copy documents such as ledgers, cash books and accounting books.
Extended data:
It is understood that the record of the case brought by the United States to the Canadian court claims that Meng Wanzhou "concealed" the relationship between Huawei and Hong Kong Xingtong Technology Co., Ltd. from HSBC and "misled" HSBC to continue to provide banking services for Huawei. Therefore, HSBC violated the US sanctions against Iran and faced the "risk" of civil and criminal fines, and Meng Wanzhou constituted "fraud" against HSBC. The key evidence of this case is the minutes of the meeting between Meng Wanzhou and HSBC on August 22, 20 13.
