A top Huawei executive's admission that the Chinese telecom company illegally conducted business in Iran can be used in the upcoming US trial against Huawei, according to a judge's ruling filed in Brooklyn federal court on Tuesday.
Chief financial officer Meng Wanzhou made the admission as part of a 2021 deal to dismiss the criminal charges she faced in the case. In a four-page statement of facts, Meng acknowledged lying to a financial institution about Huawei's compliance with sanctions and export control law.
