On December 1, 2018, Huawei’s chief financial officer, Meng Wangzhou, was arrested by Canadian authorities at the request of the U.S. pursuant to an extradition treaty between the U.S. and Canada. The arrest of Meng Wangzhou marked a significant change from traditional sanction enforcement actions.
Ngosong's Fonkem's article, "How a Huawei CFO’s Criminal Prosecution Could Signal a New Approach to U.S. Sanctions Enforcement," talks through this new enforcement strategy defining the traditional view of criminal liability versus the new view. The article also breaks down the Responsible Corporate Officer Doctrine and how it can impose criminal liability on corporate officers.
