Anna Sorokin, the lady who posed as a fake German Heiress to scam people off millions, was supposed to land in Frankfurt on Tuesday but her deportation appears to have failed.
The scammer was supposed to have been on a flight from New Jersey (United States) to Hesse but the UA960 landed in Rhein-Main Tuesday morning without the criminal on board.
Anna Sorokin aka Anna Delvey became famous after Netflix made a series abut her named Inventing Anna that saw her life-story gain a sensational spin.
According to BILD, the reason Sorokin was not on the plane was because she had resisted her deportation by the US authorities for a short time. It is still unclear when the next attempt at deportation will be started by the Americans.
