An investigation has been launched after a man flew from Europe to the USA with no passport, visa, or plane ticket.
According to the Independent, the passenger told investigators he’s “not sure” how he boarded the plane and can’t remember the journey.
The Independent reports that Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava, a Russian-Israeli dual national, departed Copenhagen on a Scandinavian Airlines flight and landed at Los Angeles International Airport on 4 November without any identification or a boarding pass, according to court documents.
Even more mysterious is that officers at a customs and border check in California discovered he wasn’t listed on the passenger manifest for the flight from Denmark – or any other flights into America.
“We can see from our surveillance that he has entered without a valid ticket. Copenhagen Airport has provided photo and video material to the authorities who are investigating the case,” A Copenhagen Airport spokesperson told The Independent. “We take the matter very seriously, and it will be included in the work we continuously do to adjust and tighten our guidelines to improve security.”
The FBI is now investigating how the passenger was able to make it from Denmark to the United States. The man, who has been charged with stowing away on an aircraft, is being held in custody.
