Vancouver, Canada (CNN Business) The chief financial officer of Chinese tech giant Huawei has been released on bail in Canada, setting her up for a lengthy legal fight over extradition to the United States. A judge granted Meng, 46, a $10 million ($7.5 million USD) bail Tuesday after three days of court hearings. Meng's attorney, David Martin, argued that she should be released on bail while she waits for an extradition hearing because of health concerns. In addition to her role as CFO of Huawei, Meng serves as deputy chairperson of the company's board. The United States has 60 days from the date of a provisional arrest to provide Canada with its formal extradition request and supporting documents.
