US continues crackdown on Huawei, adds charges to New York case

CNN  

New York CNN Business — The US government has charged Chinese technology giant Huawei with racketeering and conspiracy to steal trade secrets, according to a superseding indictment unsealed Thursday in the US District Court for the Eastern District of New York. The Justice Department accuses Huawei of lying about its relationship with an affiliate business called Skycom, which allegedly helped Iran’s government perform “domestic surveillance, including during the demonstrations in Tehran in 2009.” Federal prosecutors claim that when presented with evidence, “the defendants allegedly made repeated misstatements to US officials, including FBI agents and representatives from the US House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence,” according to a press release from the Justice Department. On Thursday, Huawei accused the US government of seeking to “irrevocably damage Huawei’s reputation” for competitive reasons, after the Justice Department announced the additional allegations. “This new indictment is part of the Justice Department’s attempt to irrevocably damage Huawei’s reputation and its business for reasons related to competition rather than law enforcement,” said Huawei. The government will not prevail on these charges which we will prove to be both unfounded and unfair.” Following the Justice Department’s initial filing of criminal charges against the company and Meng last January, Huawei said it “is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng, and believes the U.S. courts will ultimately reach the same conclusion.” Canada is currently in the process of determining whether to extradite Meng, who is also the daughter of Huawei founder Ren Zhengfei, to the United States to stand trial for the charges in New York.
