The judgment will deal with the charge of double criminality, deciding whether Meng’s actions were crimes in both Canada and the United States at the time of her arrest. Canadian prosecutors have argued that Meng should be extradited on fraud charges, and that contrary to her defense argument, the case is not solely about a violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran.
