French authorities conducted a search of Huawei’s offices in France as part of a preliminary investigation into alleged breach of probity, which encompasses various offenses like corruption and influence peddling. Huawei has confirmed that it is fully cooperating with the authorities and remains confident about the outcome of the investigation. The tech giant, which has been operating in France for over 20 years, had previously announced plans to build a factory in the country for manufacturing wireless communications equipment. However, several European countries have either banned Huawei or restricted its involvement in their 5G networks due to security concerns.
