Crown says “nothing sinister” took place in arrest of Chinese tech executive

The Crown says there was nothing sinister about the questioning of a Chinese tech executive, whose arrest at Vancouver’s airport last year sparked an ongoing diplomatic dispute between Canada and China.

Lawyers for Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou allege Canadian and American officials conspired to conduct a covert criminal investigation at the airport on December 1st of last year. However,  a lawyer representing the Attorney General of Canada says Meng’s questioning at the airport was hardly covert, since various activities were videotaped, audiotaped and subject to notes.
