Ltd and lawyers for Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou about a possible deffered prosecution agreement for the Chinese executive that could allow her to return to China, the Globe and Mail reported https://tgam.ca/3EvLrNe on Friday, citing Canadian sources.

The United States is prepared to end its extradition request and criminal proceedings against Meng if she pleads guilty and pays a hefty fine, the report said.
