In documents released late Friday, Meng's defence team presented seven new pieces of evidence it wants B.C. The defence lawyers claim the record of the case the U.S. provided to the Crown to justify extradition to New York on charges of fraud and conspiracy is riddled with misrepresentations. "The purpose of admitting this evidence is to allow for a meaningful judicial process," the defence team writes in a submission accompanying the new documents. Meng's lawyers claim they can prove the Crown's case "is defective and manifestly unreliable." Prosecutors claim Meng Wanzhou lied to an HSBC executive about Huawei's relationship with a subsidiary accused of violating U.S. economic sanctions against Iran.
