Meng will virtually attend court in Brooklyn, NY at 1 p.m. local time (17:00 GMT) to address the resolution of charges.

“The government respectfully submits this letter to inform the Court that the parties will appear at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, September 24, 2021, to address with this Court a resolution of the charges against the defendant in this matter,” Acting US Attorney Nicole Boeckmann said in a written submission to US District Judge for the Eastern District of New York Ann Donnelly.

The US District Court for the Eastern District of New York charged Meng with fraud in December 2018. The daughter of Huawei founder and CEO Ren Zhengfei was arrested at Vancouver International Airport during a layover stop after US authorities alleged that she had a role in violating American sanctions against Iran.
