Judge: Fake Heiress Can Fight Deportation on House Arrest
NEW YORK—A U.S. immigration judge cleared the way Wednesday for fake German heiress Anna Sorokin to be released from detention to home confinement while she fights deportation, if she meets certain conditions.
She must post a $10,000 bond, provide a residential address where she’ll stay for the duration of her immigration case and refrain from social media posting, Manhattan Immigration Judge Charles Conroy said.
Sorokin, 31, has been in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody since March 2021, after spending more than three years behind bars for swindling banks, hotels, and friends to bankroll a posh lifestyle.
Immigration authorities say she’s overstayed her visa and must be returned to Germany….
