//Gibb-Carsley said that at the heart of the allegations against Huawei and Meng is that between 2009 and 2014, the company used an unofficial subsidiary named Skycom to transact business in Iran for an Iranian telecommunications company, in violation of U.S. sanctions against trade with Iran.
When a Reuters news agency story was published in 2013 describing how Huawei controlled Skycom and that Skycom had attempted to send U.S.-manufactured computer equipment to Iran in violation of the sanctions, several banks involved in the case asked Huawei whether the allegations were true.
Meng then made misrepresentations to the banks in a form of “damage control” to the news agency’s article, Gibb-Carsley alleged.
Relying on the misrepresentations by Meng and other Huawei representatives, one of the banks and its U.S subsidiary cleared more than $100 million dollars worth of transactions related to Skycom through the U.S. between 2010 and 2014, said Gibb-Carsley.
“Skycom was Huawei. This is the crux of the alleged misrepresentation. This is the alleged fraud,” said Gibb-Carsley. “Skycom employees, it’s alleged, were Huawei employees.”
The actions of Meng put the banks involved at serious financial risk, he said.//
