Miss Universe fashion designer cleared of blackmail

Miss Universe fashion designer cleared of blackmail marks a rare courtroom resolution for two prominent figures in Portia & Scarlett. Vicki Vlahos and Milad Ghazi were found not guilty in Sydney’s Downing Centre District Court of blackmailing Danielle Vlahos for nearly 4 million dollars. The case centered on allegations that Vicki threatened to reveal an affair with her ex-husband if Danielle did not pay a larger sum, with differences between initial offers and later terms cited as the basis for the demand. The jury deliberated for just under four-and-a-half hours. Vlahos arrived at court in a Maserati, clutching a Chanel handbag, while Ghazi also attended the proceedings.
