Huawei sacks Poland employee arrested on spy charges

Allegations reportedly not linked directly to Chinese company

Huawei says it fired Wang Weijing, an employee based in Poland who faces charges of spying, and that the "alleged actions have no relation to the company."

HONG KONG (Reuters) -- Chinese telecoms equipment maker Huawei said on Saturday it had sacked a Chinese employee who was arrested on spying charges in Poland, as the company sought to distance itself from the incident.

Polish authorities detained Wang Weijing and a former Polish security official on Friday over the allegations, which could intensify Western security concerns about Huawei and its relations with the Chinese government.
