copped to attempted petit larceny for forging the name of 68-year-old ex-lover Paul Nippes, on a lease and was sentenced to 90 days in jail in Manhattan Supreme Court.
As part of the agreement, she didn’t have to admit to extorting $400,000 from the disgraced politician by threatening to go public with their affair.
Instead, Svetlana ‘Z’ copped to signing the name of Manhattan toy store owner Nippes on a Midtown apartment lease in 2014 in a deal that covers the Spitzer case.
“You attempted to steal money from someone named Paul Nippes for rent owed by you for an apartment on East 37 Street?” asked Justice Charles Solomon.
“Yes,” she replied through a Russian interpreter.
The judge handed down the sentence, which she has already served, and the Russian super escort is expected to be released from corrections Monday.

Disgraced former York Governor, Eliot Spitzer, and the second man in high class escort Zakharova’s fraud and extortion case,  Paul Nippes, wanted details of their private lives out in the media which enabled Svetlana Zakharova’s defense team to negotiate a plea to literally walk out of jail free. She also avoids deportation

Svetlana Travis Zakharova who boasted of being a $5,000-a-night call girl copped to attempted petit larceny and was sentenced to 90 days in jail in Manhattan Supreme Court. She will be released for time served,Monday

Spitzer resigned in disgrace as governor of New York in 2008 after getting caught up in a prostitution scandal with the then 22-year-old hooker Ashley Youmans, aka Ashley Dupre, where he was identified as the black socks-wearing “Client No. 9” and then lost his marriage to wife Silda in 2013 after his romantic relationship with a former staffer on his campaign for New York City comptroller went public.

 A love for extra-marital affairs cost Eliot’s Spitzer his political career as well as his marriage to ex-wife Silda [left]. She walked out of the marriage with a $7.5 million payout and $240,000 a year from her “postnuptial” agreement with Spitzer

That gal pal, Lis Smith, who was at the time working for then-Mayor-elect Bill de Blasio, dumped Spitzer when Zakharova accused Spitzer of roughing her up during an argument inside his $1,000-a-night suite at the Plaza Hotel in February 2016.
Her attorney, Joseph Murray, has said from the outset his client’s immigration status is his primary concern, and he landed her a deal that won’t lead to an automatic deportation.

Sveltena ‘Z’ bolted to Russia, but didn’t wait for the coast to clear before returning. She was arrested, Monday and charged with grand larceny by extortion and forgery

In court papers, Zakharova claimed that Spitzer became irate when she showed up at the hotel and refused to have sex with him.
Spitzer allegedly shouted, “What am I paying you for?” and dragged her from the bathroom to the bed, where he kicked her luggage at her, the filing states.
Then he pulled out a stack of $100 bills and ripped each one in half as he yelled, “You’re a Russian whore,” the papers say.
After the willowy stunner called cops, Spitzer allegedly pressured her not cooperate with police and later drove her to the airport.

The final straw: His dalliance with then 22-year-old hooker Ashley Youmans, aka Ashley Dupre, cost Spitzer his job as governor of New York in 2008

His former campaign staffer, publicist Lis Smith [right], left Spitzer after his hookups with Ashley Youmans went public.

But the tables quickly turned, and she became the focus of an extortion investigation for demanding payments from Spitzer between 2014 and 2016.
When she returned to the country in October 2016, she was promptly arrested for her alleged schemes against Spitzer and Nippes and has been held on $1 million bail since.
“She had a longterm relationship with him and to be accused of extorting him was absolutely not true, and she would never admit to that,” said Murray. “I’m just glad it’s over.”
