The US Department of Justice on Thursday said it was charging Huawei with racketeering and theft of trade secrets. The 16-count indictment accuses the company, the world’s No. 1 telecom supplier and No. 2 phone manufacturer, of using “fraud and deception” to steal technology from US companies.
The new indictment also contains charges from a previous indictment that was unsealed in January 2019, according to the DOJ.
Huawei didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
