This week, French financial investigators conducted a search at the offices of Huawei in France. The French authorities emphasized that this action is part of a preliminary inquiry and does not imply any wrongdoing on the part of the company. However, suspicions of corruption, favoritism, and influence peddling have prompted this investigative step.
Both Huawei and the French authorities have acknowledged the search conducted on Tuesday, yet no detailed information has been disclosed.
In response, a spokesperson for Huawei highlighted the company’s significant investments in research within France and the upcoming launch of a factory dedicated to wireless communication equipment in 2025, promising substantial job opportunities and economic value.
They emphasized Huawei’s long-standing adherence to French laws over its 20 years of operation in the country and expressed willingness to cooperate fully with the investigation.
