Azerbaijan's Supreme Court has upheld the convictions of two women found guilty of extorting more than 205,000 manats ($120,588) from a British citizen in a high-profile "honey trap" scheme.

The court rejected the cassation appeal filed by Elnara Nasreddinova and Yasemen Mammadova, leaving previous rulings unchanged, The Caspian Post reports via Oxu.az.

The case stems from an incident on March 26, 2025, when Nasreddinova approached British national Christopher Greer in Baku's Fountains Square and offered intimate services for money. Prosecutors said she later invited him to her home, where Mammadova joined them.

Investigators said no sexual encounter took place. Instead, after Greer undressed, Nasreddinova took photographs of him without his consent. The women then reportedly used the images to blackmail him, forcing him to hand over 205,823 Azerbaijani manats.

Nasreddinova was convicted of fraud committed by a group, violent extortion, and theft or concealment of official documents under Azerbaijan's Criminal Code. She was sentenced to 11 years in prison by the Baku Serious Crimes Court.

Mammadova was convicted of group fraud and initially sentenced to two years in prison. However, the Baku Court of Appeal later replaced her prison term with one year and 14 days of restricted liberty, requiring her to wear an electronic monitoring bracelet.

The Supreme Court of Azerbaijan has now upheld the earlier decisions, bringing the legal proceedings in the widely publicized extortion case to a close.
