China Huawei Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhu

Reuters quoted an informed source as saying that the US Department of Justice is discussing with Chinese “Huawei” company chief financial officer Meng Wanzhu a deal that would allow him to return to China from Canada.

The source said the attorneys Meng hired had discussed with officials from the US Department of Justice in recent weeks the possibility of reaching an “agreement to postpone the trial” in exchange for his admission of misconduct.

Washington accuses Meng of cheating on HSBC about Huawei’s relationship with Skycom, a branch that sold telecommunications equipment to Iran, exposing the bank to the impact of violating US sanctions against Tehran.

At the end of 2018, Meng was arrested at the Vancouver airport, which led to an unprecedented diplomatic crisis between Canada and China.
