Why was Huawei CFO arrested in Canada at US request?
The case against Huawei CFO Meng Wanzhou, arrested in Canada at the US' request, is for fraud in deceiving banks on the relationship between Huawei and its "unofficial subsidiary" Skycom. Huawei allegedly used Skycom to do business in Iran, breaching US sanctions. Meng allegedly told banks they were separate companies so banks didn't know they were clearing transactions involving Iran.
