Svetlana Dali's Repeated Attempts to Escape the US

On Monday, Svetlana Dali found herself in handcuffs for the second time this December. Her earlier arrest occurred on December 4th, when she was detained by the FBI for illicitly boarding a Delta Air Lines flight heading from the US to France.

Dali was discovered trying to cross into Canada after removing her ankle monitor, according to sources from the law enforcement agency who spoke with ABC News.

Her latest apprehension was in Buffalo, where she awaits a court appearance scheduled for Tuesday, under the jurisdiction of a federal magistrate.

Initial Incident: Stowaway to France

The saga began on November 26 when Dali was first caught without necessary documentation. She had managed to get onto Delta Flight 264 departing from New York's JFK Airport with a destination of Charles-de-Gaulle Airport in Paris. Despite her efforts, Dali did not go unnoticed on the flight back in the US.

Upon arrival back at JFK Airport, authorities took her into custody. The French Interior Ministry reported that she was not permitted into France due to her lacking a valid visa and was therefore held until arrangements were made for her return to the US, as she had a legitimate US resident permit.

Second Escape Attempt Foiled

Less than a month later, Dali made another attempt to leave the United States, this time targeting Canada as her destination. This underscores a pattern of risky efforts to evade national boundaries.
