Huawei has stated that a dispute with T-Mobile was settled in 2017 after a report said US authorities had opened a criminal investigation into the Chinese telecommunications company.
The US justice department (DoJ) was, according to the Wall Street Journal which cited anonymous sources, in the “advanced” stages of a criminal inquiry that could result in an indictment of Huawei.
The newspaper said the DoJ was looking into allegations of theft of trade secrets from Huawei’s US business partners, including a T-Mobile robotic device used to test smartphones.
Huawei and the DoJ declined to comment directly on the report.
