The Canadian police officer who arrested a Huawei executive in Vancouver in 2018 told a court the apprehension was done by the book, amid claims by her lawyers that her rights were violated during the process.
Huawei chief financial officer Sabrina Meng Wanzhou arrived in the British Columbia Supreme Court for the first of five days of hearings as her US extradition case resumed.
This week's hearings will focus on the alleged abuse of process by Canadian and US authorities during her December 2018 arrest at Vancouver International Airport.
Meng, 48, is charged by the United States with bank fraud for allegedly misleading HSBC about Huawei's business dealings in Iran, causing the bank to break US sanction laws.
Meng's lawyers have argued that Canadian authorities improperly communicated with their US counterparts, including allegedly sharing identifying details about her electronic devices.
Canada has denied this and provided affidavits from members of the federal Royal Canadian Mounted Police who were involved in Meng's arrest.
Meng's lawyers have alleged that authorities used the Canada Border Services Agency and its powers to search passengers to investigate Meng in a way that violated her rights, that the CBSA inappropriately seized her electronic devices and that identifying information was shared with US authorities.
Hearings are scheduled to wrap up in April.
