Meng strikes deal with U.S. justice officials, including withdrawal of Canadian extradition request





OTTAWA -- U.S. Justice Department officials and Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou have reached a deal to resolve the criminal charges against her,
allowing the woman who has been at the centre of a years-long major geopolitical case to enter into a deferred prosecution agreement and be released, under certain terms.

Meng, appearing virtually in a New York courtroom as part of the proceedings, pled “not guilty,” and will be released on a personal recognizance bond, with the charges
against her set to be dismissed as of Dec. 1, 2022, four years to the day when she was taken into custody at Vancouver International Airport in 2018.

A U.S. justice official said during the proceedings that once the court approved the deal, American authorities would “promptly” be notifying the Canadian government
that they are withdrawing their extradition request, and sparking what is set to be the beginning of the end to a nearly three-year legal and diplomatic saga.
