Middle East3 sources3 countries🔦 Under-reported42m ago
Huawei Technologies is heading to trial in the United States, marking the culmination of one of the U.S. government's earliest and most closely watched legal battles against a Chinese company. The case centers on Huawei's business dealings in Iran, with prosecutors alleging that the firm defrauded HSBC and supplied surveillance equipment used to track protesters during the 2009 anti-government demonstrations in Tehran.
In addition to the Iran-related charges, the legal proceedings encompass allegations that Huawei conspired to steal trade secrets from five U.S. technology companies. The tech giant is also accused of making false statements regarding its business operations in North Korea. The upcoming trial follows charges that were initially filed secretly by U.S. prosecutors eight years ago.
