The convicted imposter Anna Sorokin has been released from detention pending deportation – but under strict conditions because of the risk of absconding.
The convicted fraudster Anna Sorokin (31) was released from US custody pending deportation last Friday (October 7). After around 18 months, she was allowed to leave the facility on payment of $10,000 bail and under strict conditions.
For example, she was not allowed to leave her apartment in Manhattan and had to wear an electronic tag so that her location could be checked at any time as part of the house arrest and a possible risk of flight. Furthermore, she is prohibited from using any social media platform until further notice.
Sorokin was arrested for fraud in 2017 and sentenced to at least four years in prison in 2019. The accusation: She posed as the German heiress Anna Delvey and thus stole services and goods worth more than 200,000 US dollars from Manhattan’s high society. Although Sorokin was briefly released in 2021 for good behavior, he was arrested again a little later due to an expired visa – in a facility of the ICE immigration authority.
Movie story
According to the report, despite the release, the US judiciary continues to seek to deport Sorokin. The convicted impostor had already appealed several times in the past against deportation to Germany.
Anna Sorokin’s crimes have become known to a wide range of people because of the Netflix series “Inventing Anna”. The nine-part miniseries, which was released on the streaming service in February 2022, tells a fictionalized version of Sorokin’s machinations. Actress Julia Garner (28) portrays Anna Sorokin/Delvey in the Netflix production based on the article “How Anna Delvey Tricked New York’s Party People” by editor Jessica Pressler. that either Oscar winner Jennifer Lawrence (32) or Margot Robbie (32) should embody her.
