Vancouver: A Canadian court on Tuesday granted bail to China's telecom giant Huawei Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Meng Wanzhou, 10 days after she was arrested as per the requests of the US authorities, sparking diplomatic dispute, media reports said.
The US claimed that Meng had misled multinational banks over Iran-linked transactions.
It also said the CEO had kept the banks in risk of violating US sanctions.
Meng, who is also the daughter of Huawei, was granted a bail at a Vancouver court by Justice William Ehrcke on conditions.
The conditions are Meng, who was in jail since Dec 1, must wear an ankle monitor and must stay at home between 11 pm and 6 am.
The arrest has further strained the bitter relationship between the US and China.
If the judge considers the case as strong enough, Canada's justice minister will have to take a call on Meng's extradition to the US.
