Business tycoon in £1m blackmail plot after influencer threatened to post explicit images from their fling

Published on March 29, 2025 at 09:06 PM

A BUSINESS mogul has been granted a legal gagging order against a social media influencer over a £1million blackmail plot.

The wealthy tycoon is hoping to stop her posting an explicit video and images of him from their fling.

His High Court injunction also bars her from sending nude photos of him to his family or colleagues.

The married woman, who has a huge social media following, was said to have already published some sexual allegations about him to people he worked with.

And on New Year’s Eve she demanded £1million from him to stop publication of a video she secretly recorded in a bathroom plus a naked photo.

The tycoon — chairman of a large group of companies trading globally — started a romance with the woman in 2022 and lavished her with cash and gifts.

But the widowed Muslim — known as HKZ in legal papers — did not tell his relatives about her.

When they had a bust-up in March 2024, she threatened to tell his family about their relationship if he did not pay her £30,000, according to legal papers.

And he was left distraught when, after paying her £5,000, she posted a picture of him on her bed on social media.

She took down the snap after he paid her £10,000.

In October, HKZ, who has homes in the UK and Asia, tried to cool the relationship and cut ties.

But, according to a written judgment, it ended in her £1million blackmail threat.

Allegations continued to fly until the mogul turned to the High Court and won the injunction under an urgent procedure.

Mr Justice Ritchie granted it, saying: “Once mud is thrown, there may remain some stain whatever the washing powder used to attempt to clean it off.”;

The full case will be heard later.
