An RCMP officer who was tasked as a point person for US investigators during the 2018 arrest of Meng Wanzhou at Vancouver's airport says he didn't see himself as working for them.
Sergeant Ross Lundie told the BC Supreme Court yesterday that he updated the Federal Bureau of Investigation when the Huawei executive was arrested but he didn't see anything wrong with that.
He told the court in Meng's ongoing extradition case that he wasn't acting on behalf of the FBI, but he was there working as an RCMP member.
Meng's lawyers are seeking evidence to support an abuse of process claim that alleges the RCMP and border officers conducted a covert criminal investigation at the behest of US authorities under the guise of a routine immigration exam.
