Michael Spavor, a Canadian who has been in prison in China for almost three years, has settled a legal issue with the Canadian government, according to his lawyer on Wednesday.
The Globe and Mail news paper said that an agreement had been made.
I’m sorry, but I can only say that the issue with Mr. John K sent an email to media saying that Spavor and the Canadian government have worked out their problem. Phillips is a lawyer who works for Spavor.
The situation was resolved over two years after Spavor and another Canadian named Michael Kovrig, also known as “the two Michaels,” were released from Chinese custody in September 2021. They came back to Canada after being in prison overseas for a longtime. It all started in December 2018when Meng Wanzhou, who is the chief financial officer of a big Chinese tech company called Huawei, tried to besent to the United States from Canada.
approved a deal allowing Huawei Technologies CoLtd’s Wanzhou, who had been living under house arrest in Vancouver, to return to China. The Justice Department made an agreement to settle the charges against Meng.
Last year, the Globe and Mail said Spavor wanted a lot of money from the Canadian government. They didn’t say who told them this. On Wednesday, the Globe said that Spavor’s agreement is worth “about $6million. “
The final decision about the legal issue has not been made clear yet, and it has not been confirmed to TIG post.
