Huawei's chief financial officer, under house arrest, settles in his largest mansion, endowed with 10 million USD

The CFO of Huawei Technologies Co. is under house arrest at Canadabut about to relocate to his recently renovated $ 13 million Canadian ($ 10 million) hotel.

The Supreme Court of British Columbia has approved the motion Meng Wanzhou Wednesday to change the terms of his bail, which included a request to move his six-room residence and $ 5 million Canadian near a park, to a mansion more than triple that of any of the neighborhoods The most elegant of Vancouver It will be two doors from the residence of the Consul General of the United States.

"The current house is a corner plot, exposed on three sides, there is no clarity between the public and private parties," said one of Meng's defense attorneys , David Martin, in court. "Right now, a lot of people are pbading by, sometimes they are coming home."

Such disadvantages would be minimized with the move. The new home in the Shaughnessy neighborhood is larger and more closed, allowing your bail supervisors to "pay their homework more efficiently and fully in the gated property," said Martin.

Bail conditions, which allow him to travel freely through a 62-square-kilometer area of ​​Vancouver, provided he is accompanied by his observers, contrast with that of two Canadians detained in China for reasons of national security shortly after the arrest of Wanzhou. .

Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor will soon serve five months in secret prisons, where they received only a few consular visits. China accuses Kovrig, a Canadian diplomat, spying and tour guide Spavor, North Korea, for providing him with information. They were kept isolated and interrogated several times a day in cells where the lights can not be extinguished.

Meng was in court Wednesday when her lawyers presented her defense strategy, arguing that her constitutional rights had been violated when she was detained for three hours at the Vancouver airport before being arrested. at the request of the US authorities. They also plan to call into question the "double criminality", refuting the fact that the United States alleges that it – by inviting banks to deceive them and to carry out for Huawei transactions that could have violated US sanctions – constitutes a crime in Canada.

His next court appearance is scheduled for 23 September.
