Britain's Serious Fraud Office has confiscated three luxury properties worth more than $25.5 million in the United Kingdom that belonged to Gulnara Karimova, the eldest daughter of late President Islam Karimov who is currently serving a 13-year sentence in Uzbekistan for money laundering. The total amount of assets associated with Karimova in Switzerland, France, and the United States is estimated at almost $1.4 billion. Uzbekistan is trying to recover at least $1 billion of that. The 51-year-old Karimova, once seen as a possible successor to her father, has also been tied to money-laundering investigations in Sweden and Switzerland.
