The Baghdad Rusafa Police Command announced today, Tuesday, the arrest of a woman accused of cyber extortion after receiving information via the Emergency and Control Department (911) indicating that she was threatening a citizen by publishing her photos on social media.

The command stated in a statement received by "Al-Fedaa News Agency" that a force from the First Al-Sadr Crime Prevention Department formed a work team and set up a well-planned ambush, where the accused was lured and caught in the act while receiving a sum of money in exchange for deleting the photos in her possession.

It noted that the accused has been placed in custody, and necessary legal procedures have been taken against her.
