Chinese tech executive Meng Wanzhou is expected to appear virtually in an American federal courtroom today to plead guilty in the U.S. proceedings against her, say sources.
The Huawei Technologies chief financial officer will pay a fine as part of a plea deal, said the sources, who were not authorized to speak publicly.
Her court appearance was first reported by Reuters.
Sources said if the New York court accepts the deal, Canadian Crown attorneys will appear in a Vancouver court later today to stay extradition proceedings against Meng. She could be free of house arrest as early as today.
The U.S. District Court said Meng will appear virtually at 1 p.m. ET in a Brooklyn courtroom to address a “resolution of the charges against the defendant in this matter.”
