Last month, Tzanani was convicted of extortion as part of a plea bargain that prevented her from serving any jail time.
The plea, which excluded the original charge of conspiracy to commit a crime, was accepted by the Tel Aviv District Court.
According to the indictment, Tzanani conspired with Hazan and a third person to blackmail her talent agent, Assaf Atedgi. Tzanani allegedly enlisted the senior crime bosses to aid her in return for helping them gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.
