The Sofia Appellate Court dismissed Thursday the case of US-requested extradition of a Bulgarian mother of two.
The request was based on a joint mutual extradition agreement between the two countries.
Gergana Chervenkova was charged in a US court with illegal online drug sales and participating in a crime group specialized in money laundering.
The Sofia Court revoked Thursday morning the restraining measure of Gergana, the BGN 1 000 bail, and the ban to leave the country.
Presiding judge, Lada Paunova, noted the extradition case does not determine quilt or innocence, but pertains only to the extradition request. As it had been withdrawn, the case is terminated.
On Tuesday, the US revoked the request for Chervenkova's extradition.
"The United States has withdrawn its request for the extradition of Ms. Gergana Ilieva Pavlova Chervenkova, who is charged in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York with federal narcotics and fraud offenses," the US Embassy in Bulgaria said in a statement.
The revocation came on grounds of new information received by the US prosecution. The announcement, however, does not rule out renewing the request.
Meanwhile, Bulgarians staged once again Thursday morning a rally in support of Chervenkova and for protecting human and civil rights of all fellow country people.
