Fake Russian-German billionaire Anna “Delvey” Sorokin, who inspired a series on Netflix, is still detained in the United States, the US migration service announced on Tuesday after the press announced her imminent extradition to Germany the day before.
Sorokin, jailed in 2019 for having cheated hundreds of thousands of dollars from hotels, banks and friends, “is still being held in an ICE (immigration police) center awaiting expulsion,” said the immigration and customs enforcement agency.
The New York Post reported on Monday that Sorokin, who was carrying out his scams under the name “Anna Delvey”, was going to be extradited to Germany on a flight to Frankfurt on Monday night.
But a spokesman for the airport police in that German city stated that as of Tuesday afternoon, Sorokin had not arrived.
Between 2016 and 2017, Sorokin managed to deceive the New York elites by posing as a wealthy heiress.
A German national but born near Moscow, the 31-year-old girl who called herself Anna “Delvey” was released from prison in February 2021 for good behavior after being sentenced two years earlier to between 4 and 12 years of imprisonment for fraud.
In March 2021, she was arrested again for remaining in the United States on an expired visa and was held in an immigration police center (ICE).
After several administrative appeals in the last year, including one to demand a booster dose of the covid-19 vaccine, it introduced a resource to stay in the United States, according to the NY Post.
With an unusual poise that allowed her to build an opulent past, the young woman presented herself as a wealthy German heir to a fortune of 60 million dollars, which allowed her to gain the trust of her friends who lent her tens of thousands of dollars and bank loans.
From November 2016 to August 2017, he traveled for free by private plane, stayed in luxury hotels and frequented the most exclusive lounges in Manhattan, never paying a penny, according to the New York justice system, which estimated in 2019 that the value of the scammed had risen to $275,000.
The daughter of a Russian truck driver and merchant who emigrated to Germany in 2007, the young woman, who arrived in New York in 2013, tried to get a $22 million loan to build a select club in Manhattan.
Its rocky story seduced television producer Shonda Rhimes (“Grey's Anatomy”, “Scandal”) who has made a miniseries broadcast for a month on Netflix, “Inventing Anna”, with Julia Garner in the title role. According to the specialized press, Anna Sorokin would have collected $320,000 from the streaming giant.
