Crown reads out #WanzhouMeng's affidavit, states she owns two "very expensive" homes in the city, and spends two to three weeks in Vancouver each year during the summer. #Huawei

Crown lawyer says asking #WanzhouMeng to be released on a $1 million bail would be like asking an upper middle class Canadian family to cough up $136 -- due to the $3.2 billion networth of her father.

Crux of allegation from AG: Between approx 2009 and 2014 #Huawei used an unofficial subsidiary called Skycom to track activity in Iran. Banks in the US then cleared money for Huawei. Unknown to them, they were conducting biz for skycom

AG: Meng personally reperesented that skycom and huawei were separate when in fact they were not

1/2 Canadian AG - Factors supporting opposition to Meng’s release on bail: no meaningful connection to this jurisdiction, access to vast resources and connections, pattern where she has avoided the US since becoming aware of criminal investigations in that country #huawei

2/2 Canadian AG: Her ordinary settled routine of life is in China. That country does not have an extradition treaty w the US
