Convicted stowaway arrested again after a new alleged ticketless flight from US to Italy

Repeat stowaway Svetlana Dali was caught onboard a United Airlines flight from Newark without a ticket and detained in Milan after discovery mid-flight, officials said.

  • Svetlana Dali was detained in Italy after allegedly sneaking onto United Flight 19 at Newark without a ticket on Wednesday, landing in Milan Thursday.
  • Court filings say Svetlana Dali was convicted last year of stowing away on a Delta flight to Paris and is on supervised release, claiming she believed she was being poisoned.
  • On Wednesday, security video shows she blended into a group at Gate C74 and hid in an aircraft bathroom for hours before discovery.
  • The FBI's Newark office said it is working with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and the Transportation Security Administration on this open investigation, while Italian authorities detained Dali at Milan's Malpensa Airport and said she could face prosecution.
  • Because she was on supervised release, court records show authorities point to her breaches at Bradley International Airport and Miami International Airport, raising enforcement questions.
