Racketeering Trial Against Huawei Begins in New York Over Alleged Crimes
A racketeering conspiracy trial against Huawei Technologies began in New York, with U.S. federal prosecutors accusing the Chinese tech giant of crimes including technology theft, financial system abuse, and aiding Iranian surveillance. Huawei, a leading global telecom equipment supplier, is banned in the U.S. and blacklisted by several Western countries over security concerns. The defense argued the case relies on isolated incidents by some employees rather than a criminal enterprise. The first prosecution witness testified about Huawei's activities in Iran.
