Richard Kurland, a federal policy expert and lawyer not involved with the case, called Meng's double criminality argument around the absence of Canadian sanctions against Iran a sure bet. Meng's legal team argued in November that she could not be extradited as Canada did not have sanctions against Iran at the time Canadian officials authorised commencing with the extradition, meaning her conduct was not illegal. Interpol secretary general explains why Meng Hongwei was removed as president In response, Canada's attorney general said Meng was arrested on charges of fraud and misleading HSBC, which is a crime in both countries.
