The U.S. has indicted Huawei and the company’s CFO Meng Wanzhou, a pair of unsealed documents shows. One of the indictments charges Huawai with conspiracy to steal intellectual property belonging to T-Mobile and of obstructing justice in that case. The second indictment holds that Huawei and its CFO violated US sanctions on Iran by pretending it had sold Skycom, the company’s Iranian-affliate, while Huawei was actually both the buyer and the seller in the transaction.
