US judge rules Huawei must answer criminal charges about alleged Iran deal


A US judge has ruled that Huawei must stand trial for allegations involving the theft of trade secrets and violating sanctions in Iran. A trial is set for next year.

The indictment alleges that Huawei engaged in racketeering, stole trade secrets from six companies and committed bank fraud by misleading the financial organizations about its work in Iran. Donnelly said that prosecutors successfully alleged that Skycom "operated as Huawei's Iranian subsidiary and ultimately stood to benefit" from over $100 million in money transfers through the US financial system. The case goes all the way back to 2019 during President Trump's first term and coincided with the Department of Justice launching an investigation into China's alleged theft of intellectual property.
