as posted by the channel

A Russian man tailgated an unsuspecting passenger through security at a Denmark airport before he boarded a US-bound flight without a passport or ticket the next day, prosecutors said.

Sergey Vladimirovich Ochigava, 46, was found guilty after sneaking onboard a Scandinavian Airlines flight from Copenhagen to Los Angeles International Airport on Nov. 4, 2023,

Following a three-day trial, a jury found Ochigava guilty of one count of being a stowaway on an aircraft, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.

Ochigava, who held both Russian and Israeli passports, followed another flyer through a security turnstile at Copenhagen Airport on November 3, 2023 to gain access to one of the terminals, where he remained overnight.

The following day, Ochigava later boarded Scandinavian Airlines flight 931 undetected.
