A Russian woman accused of sneaking onto a JFK flight pleads not guilty, with a judge concerned about her potential flight risk.
New York: So, this wild story is about a Russian woman named Svetlana Dali. She tried to sneak onto a flight from JFK to Paris. Crazy, right?
She was caught after ditching her ankle monitor, trying to escape to Canada. This all happened after she was released on GPS monitoring. Talk about a flight risk!
In court, she pleaded not guilty to stowing away on the plane. The judge wasn’t having it, though. He decided to keep her detained because he thought she might try to run again.
Apparently, she managed to sneak onto the Delta flight by slipping past distracted airline workers. She was found in France but sent back to New York.
Initially, she was let go with a GPS monitor, but the judge warned that she was a serious flight risk. She was supposed to stay away from airports, but there was no mention of bus stations.
Her lawyer mentioned that Svetlana is hoping for a plea deal before the trial. But after cutting off her monitor and trying to hop on a bus to Canada, she got caught again.
When asked for her passport, she didn’t have it, which led to her arrest in Buffalo. Now, she’s back in New York, facing serious charges.
If convicted, she could spend up to five years in prison. Her next court date is set for March 5. Let’s see how this unfolds!
