The newly released video is said to have been that Russian National Svetlanadali sneaked into a flight from New York to Paris at the end of last year without a boarding pass.
A video provided to the Associated Press on Wednesday by the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey after a record-breaking request shows Dali wearing a brown sweater while being shown by Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents.
A moment later, she shows her wearing a gray hoodie under her black jacket while the two gate agents slip in and check their boarding pass, as they blend in with a group of passengers walking on the air bridge.
The staff apparently did not notice Dali as they passed and joined a group of passengers with tickets allowed on the plane.

According to the AP, DALI said TSA officials had left the security checkpoint at JFK International Airport because TSA officials were unable to display their boarding pass.
She was later said to have sneaked into a special security lane for airline employees, covered in a large European squadron, where agents inspected their bags and turned them into a screening area where they could dab travelers.

Delta’s crew noticed that Dali was an unauthorized passenger while the plane was in the air and notified French authorities.
She eventually returned to New York and admitted that she was on the plane without a ticket to authorities and that she deliberately avoided security and Delta employees, which allowed her to avoid buying tickets, court records said.

Dali was initially released after being arrested for electrical surveillance, but was later arrested again in Buffalo, New York, after cutting off the monitor and attempting to enter Canada.
She is being held at the Federal Lockup in Brooklyn. This is a record obtained by the AP show.

Dali, 57, is a legal resident of the United States. She pleaded not guilty to seating charges in the incident last November. Her trial is scheduled to begin next month, but her prosecutor and her lawyers say they are trying to work on a plea deal.
