A Russian woman in her fifties remains detained in Paris after sneaking onto a Delta flight from New York's JFK airport. She was removed from her return flight due to a disruptive outburst and has been held at Charles de Gaulle airport since Wednesday. The woman, who holds a Russian passport and a US green card, previously had an asylum request denied in France. After being detained, she requested asylum again but was denied once more. Investigations are ongoing into how she passed security and boarded the flight without a boarding pass. She reportedly hid in the aircraft's bathroom during the flight and used an empty seat at times. She may face multiple charges upon returning to the US.
