Convicted felon Anna Sorokin was freed Friday after 17 months in detention and was headed back to New York City, where she'll remain on house arrest as her deportation case winds through immigration court, according to her spokesman. "She got out Friday afternoon," her spokesman, Juda Engelmayer, told Fox News Digital.
The fake heiress, who pretended to have a 60 million euro fortune, was a fixture among the city's rich and fashionable before her real identity was unmasked. The 31-year-old social grifter, whose cons inspired the hit Netflix series "Inventing Anna," persuaded a judge to grant her bond while she fights her deportation to Germany for overstaying her visa. Anna Sorokin sits at the defense table during her trial at New York State Supreme Court, in New York, Monday, April 22, 2019.

The conditions of her release include a $10,000 bond, a GPS ankle monitor, 24-hour home confinement and a complete ban from social media, according to the order obtained by Fox News Digital. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials, who opposed the decision, declined to comment.
