A lawyer for Meng Wanzhou expressed concerns Monday about the refusal of a former RCMP officer to testify at the Huawei executive’s extradition hearing.
Richard Peck told B.C. Supreme Court Associate Chief Justice Heather Holmes that retired St. Sgt. Ben Chang had retained a lawyer and sought legal advice and had notified the defence and the federal Crown of his decision not to provide evidence.
Chang is said to have emailed the serial numbers of the devices, SIM cards and international mobile identity numbers to the FBI, according to the notes of another RCMP officer.
The defence is claiming that Canadian authorities conspired with the FBI to conduct a covert criminal investigation when Meng’s arrest was delayed and her devices initially seized by the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). Information about the devices, including the passcodes, was turned over to the RCMP by the CBSA.
