美国检察官本周四要求法官撤销对中国华为高管孟晚舟的银行欺诈等指控。按照孟晚舟去年与检察官达成的暂缓起诉协议，对她的指控会在2022年12月1日被撤销。
按照协议，释放孟晚舟的条件是她同意对案件进行事实陈述，当时以视频方式出席美国纽约联邦法院的聆讯，孟晚舟并未认罪，但作为协议的一部分，她承认她在2013年与一位银行高管会面时对华为的伊朗业务做了虚假陈述。她同意该陈述是准确和自愿的，不会反驳。
本周四检察官撤销对孟晚舟的指控是既定程序中的一节，标志着孟晚舟事件终于告一段落。
尽管美国撤销了对孟晚舟的指控，但目前针对华为公司的诉讼仍在继续，对华为的指控包括银行欺诈，破坏制裁，以及密谋窃取美国技术公司的商业机密和妨碍司法。华为表示不认罪。
这一案件在纽约州布鲁克林地方法院审理中，目前尚未确定审判日期，预计将于明年2月7日举行审前通报会。

The United States closed the book Friday on the legal saga of Meng Wanzhou, the Chinese tech executive whose arrest in Canada in 2018 triggered a global standoff with foreign-policy implications that reverberate to this day.
A federal judge in New York formally dismissed the last remaining indictment against Huawei’s chief financial officer after prosecutors agreed Ms. Meng had abided by the terms of her deferred prosecution agreement.
“It is hereby ordered that the third superseding indictment in the above-captioned matter as to the defendant Wanzhou Meng is hereby dismissed with prejudice,” District Judge Ann Donnelly said in a written decision.
The order came four years after Ms. Meng was first detained in Vancouver in December, 2018, as part of a controversial U.S. extradition request that dragged Canada into the middle of an intractable legal dispute with China.
It’s the final stage of the agreement, or DPA, that saw Ms. Meng released from custody in September, 2021, nearly three years after she was arrested at the behest of the U.S. to face fraud charges related to American sanctions against Iran.
Prosecutors accused Ms. Meng and Huawei of stealing secrets and using Skycom, a Hong Kong communications firm, to sell tech equipment to Iran in defiance of sanctions under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act.
Her detention quickly spiralled into a tense, protracted three-way dispute after two Canadian nationals, Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor, were arrested in China in an apparent act of retaliation.
Ms. Meng, the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, pleaded not guilty to all charges as part of the agreement. In exchange, she agreed to a statement of facts acknowledging, among other things, that Skycom – which she had claimed was a partner with Huawei – was essentially a wholly owned subsidiary.
The agreement made it clear she would be in violation of the deal if she tried to contradict or deny the statement, which would then be admissible in any future court proceedings.
U.S. attorney Carolyn Pokorny filed the request to dismiss the indictment Thursday, four years to the day after Ms. Meng’s detention in Vancouver.
“In the absence of information that [Ms. Meng] has violated any terms of the DPA through Dec. 1, 2022 … the government respectfully moves to dismiss the third superseding indictment in this case,” Ms. Pokorny wrote.
Mr. Spavor and Mr. Kovrig, who came to be known around the world as “the two Michaels,” were freed by Chinese authorities at almost the precise moment that Ms. Meng was being flown home.
China has long denied any link between the two cases, despite the timing of both the initial arrests and their eventual release.
Their detention complicated Canada’s efforts to enunciate a position on China in general and Huawei in particular as a potential national security threat.
In May, the federal Liberal government announced it was banning the company and another Chinese vendor, ZTE, from participating in the development of Canada’s next-generation mobile networks.
Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly finally unveiled Canada’s Indo-Pacific strategy on Sunday, in the very city where Ms. Meng was first detained. The Liberals had first promised it back in 2015.
It described China as “an increasingly disruptive global power” and included plans for an international summit on “arbitrary detention,” as well as efforts to draft new efforts to push back on human rights violations and “economic coercion.”
