They were accused of trespassing and filming a crime scene without permission., Qazet.az reports.
Both of them were later cleared of the charges but fined for working as journalists while on tourist visas.
CNN International's executive vice-president and general manager Mike McCarthy said in a statement that his reporters had sought permission to enter the building, but understand that "officials were not authorised to grant this permission". He added that CNN had since stopped broadcasting the report and removed the video from its website.
