The FBI says Huawei paid employees bonuses for stolen information.
The United States Justice Department has charged China’s Huawei – the world’s largest telecommunications equipment manufacturer – with 23 crimes, including conspiracy to commit money laundering, theft of trade secrets and obstruction of justice.
In two indictments, unsealed Monday, the Justice Department said Huawei and its CFO Meng Wanzhou had conspired to violate sanctions on Iran via a subsidiary it tried to hide. It also charged the company with stealing technology from T-Mobile.
As part of its investigation, FBI obtained emails revealing that in July 2013, Huawei offered bonuses to employees based on the value of information they stole from other companies around the world, and could provide to Huawei via encrypted email.
