An asylum seeker and his wife blackmailed a Muslim friend by threatening to show photographs of her wearing jeans and a T-shirt to her devout family, a court heard yesterday.
Emal Ismaeli, 34, and Joanna Richards, 22, demanded more than 7,000 in a two-month terror campaign against the woman, identified only as Miss X.
They threatened to confront her traditional Islamic family - including her husband-to-be - with photographs of her in Western clothing with her arms around a man, and with a videotape of her dancing.
