Huawei faces U.S. criminal trial on racketeering, fraud, and trade-secret theft charges
The U.S. criminal trial against Huawei Technologies began in federal court in Brooklyn, New York, with jury selection starting September 8, 2026 and opening statements on September 9. Prosecutors allege a 20-year pattern of racketeering, sanctions violations, bank fraud, and trade-secret theft from American companies. Huawei has pleaded not guilty and describes the prosecution as an effort to undermine its competitiveness.
