If you’ve watched Inventing Anna on Netflix, then you’d be well aware of the lengths Anna Sorokin (aka Anna Delvey) took to avoid pretty much anything. Spoiler alert: except prison. After serving just two years of her 12-year prison sentence for theft and grand larceny, she was released only to be rearrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for over staying her visa, six weeks later.
Sorokin spent nearly one year in ICE detention (which she describes in great and slightly chaotic detail here) before she was reportedly released from custody on Monday. This is where it gets confusing. According to several outlets, it was believed she would be deported to Germany but even her attorney failed to reach Sorokin.
“Legally, they should not be able to deport her until the 19th. That is due to the deportation order being signed on February 17 and that allows us to have 30 days to file an appeal,” Manny Arora, a defense attorney for Sorokin, said in a statement Monday obtained by NBC News. “But we are dealing with bureaucracy, and there are numerous filings in her case so you just never know if there was a paperwork error.”
The attorney continued, “I haven’t heard from Miss Sorokin this afternoon, and so I am working under the presumption that she is being deported.”
In turn, European reporters gathered outside Frankfurt International airport to greet the fake heiress in Germany. She never appeared, causing confusion around exactly where she was. Oh, the hysteria. Expectedly, it was probably was she wanted, if not, thrives in.
On Tuesday German publication Der Spiegel revealed that the planned deportation had failed at the last minute when Sorokin refused to leave for the airport. We can already hear her accent, forever burned in our subconscious. Authorities are reportedly looking to secure a new date for her departure.
Sequel worthy? We’re ready for season two Shonda Rhimes!
Stay tuned for further details on Sorokin’s deportation.
