The US has revoked its request for the extradition of Gergana Chervenkova, a Bulgarian mother of two, who was charged in a US court with illegal online drug sales and participating in a crime group specialized in money laundering.

"The United States has withdrawn its request for the extradition of Ms.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"The request was withdrawn in part because of new information obtained by the prosecution, and not because of any deficiency in the request under the terms of the Extradition Treaty between the United States and Bulgaria. When a request is withdrawn, the Extradition Treaty permits the submission of a new request for an individual's extradition," the statement says.

The statement came four days after the Sofia Appellate Court yet again postponed its conclusive ruling on the extradition request, according to reports of mediapool.bg.

Gergana Chervenkova faced the prospect of being extradited to the US on charges of participating in a group involved in unauthorized online drug trade in her capacity of financial manager for the British company "Euromedonline Ltd."

She faced a penalty of 68 years of imprisonment for the offenses.

The US authorities sent statements indicating that Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) agents had solid evidence that the Bulgarian had been involved in illegal drug sales.

Chervenkova worked at "BG Global Services", a company servicing British firm "Euromedonline Ltd."

Her job was to process weekly reports from the sales system and to calculate the accumulated fees and commissions for doctors and pharmacies based on sales realized through the site. Cherevenkova's responsibilities did not involve selling drugs.

While waiting for the court ruling on the extradition request, she spent several months in custody, until she was released by the Sofia Appellate Court on a bail of BGN 1000 on July 2.
