[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

OTTAWA — Senior Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou has reached a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors that will allow her to return to China in a development that will have major consequences beyond North America.

The Chinese telecom giant’s chief financial officer is appearing by virtual link in a Brooklyn courtroom to resolve charges that underpin a U.S. extradition request against her, according to documents filed in the Eastern District of New York.

Reuters was the first to report that she is expected to reach a plea deal with U.S. prosecutors.

Canadian police arrested Meng in December 2018 at the Vancouver airport on a U.S. extradition warrant. She’s accused of fraud in the U.S. connected to her alleged violation of American sanctions on Iran.

2. I want to know if the Chinese will now release the two Canadian Michaels they are holding

in retaliation for Canada holding Meng on behalf of the US.

3. It isn't a plea deal it's a DPA

big difference. she pled not guilty. The DOJ is spinning this as admissions of wrongdoing because of the statement of facts she agreed to as part of the negotiations. I read the DOJ public announcement concerning the statement of facts. I think their interpretation of what constitutes deliberate misrepresentation in a fraud case can be argued but it"s moot in Meng's absence She returned to China. I guess they can use in court against Huawei. I couldn't find the original agreement.
