昨日,美国司法部宣布了对华为公司、有关子公司及其副董事长、首席财务官孟晚舟的指控,并声称即将向加拿大提出对孟晚舟女士的引渡请求。此外,美国司法部还宣布在纽约就中国的华为公司提起13项指控。这些指控包括银行欺诈、阴谋电汇欺诈、违反《国际紧急状态经济权力法》等。
对此,华为回应如下:
我们对美国政府今天针对华为提出的指控感到非常失望。孟女士被捕之后,华为试图与司法部就纽约东区的调查进行讨论,但被拒绝且没有给出任何理由。华盛顿西区法院关于华为商业秘密案件的相关民事诉讼早已和解,和解前西雅图陪审团也对商业秘密相关诉请做出了没有赔偿、华为不存在主观恶意的裁决。
华为否认关于华为公司、其子公司或附属机构犯有起诉书中指控的违反美国法律的各项罪名,也不知晓孟女士有任何不当行为。华为相信美国法院最终会得出相同的结论。
Huawei is disappointed to learn of the charges brought against the company today. After Ms. Meng’s arrest, the Company sought an opportunity to discuss the Eastern District of New York investigation with the Justice Department, but the request was rejected without explanation. The allegations in the Western District of Washington trade secret indictment were already the subject of a civil suit that was settled by the parties after a Seattle jury found neither damages nor willful and malicious conduct on the trade secret claim.
The Company denies that it or its subsidiary or affiliate have committed any of the asserted violations of U.S. law set forth in each of the indictments, is not aware of any wrongdoing by Ms. Meng, and believes the U.S. courts will ultimately reach the same conclusion.
