Prosecutors presented internal emails, flight records, and surveillance footage, accusing Huawei employee Adam Zhong of attempting to obtain T-Mobile test robot parts and take photos.
On September 16, a video played by prosecutors during Huawei's criminal trial in New York was officially released, showing Huawei employees stealing parts of T-Mobile's phone-testing robot, Tappy. Huawei denies that the company engaged in organized theft, arguing that it was the action of individual employees and that management had already dealt with it.
According to foreign media reports, around September 9, during Huawei's criminal trial in the United States, federal prosecutors played a 54-second surveillance video for the jury, claiming that the footage shows Huawei employees taking parts from T-Mobile's locked robotics laboratory and packing them into a bag, and alleging that Huawei had been continuously stealing US trade secrets for 20 years. Huawei's lawyers denied the charges, saying the government is blaming the entire company for the actions of individual employees.
