Meng Wanzhou (Chinese: 孟晚舟; born 13 February 1972), also known as Cathy Meng and Sabrina Meng,[6] also informally known in China as the "Princess of Huawei",[7] is a Chinese business executive. She is the deputy chair of the board and chief financial officer (CFO) of Huawei, which was founded by her father Ren Zhengfei.

On 1 December 2018, Meng was detained and interrogated at Vancouver International Airport[8] by the Canada Border Services Agency and subsequently placed under house arrest on extradition request by United States Department of Justice under the indictment of bank and wire fraud regarding financial transactions in violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran by Skycom, which had functioned as Huawei's Iran-based subsidiary.[9][10] On 24 September 2021, the DOJ announced it had reached a plea bargain with Meng to resolve the case through a deferred prosecution agreement,[11][12][13][14] and it would move to dismiss all charges against Meng when the deferral period ends on 21 December 2022, on the condition that Meng is not charged with any other crime before then.[3][4][15] Meng was released from house arrest and left Canada for China on 24 September 2021.[16] On 1 December 2022, the prosecution asked a judge to dismiss bank fraud and other charges against her[2] and the judge dismissed the charges the next day.[17]
