Islam Karimov Jr., who is currently residing in London, UK, posted a statement on his Instagram page that his mother Gulnara Karimova was ready to support the new development of the country.

“The development and success of our country is at the hearts of any citizen of our Motherland. For the past years, there were extensive efforts in the new path of our state, which gives hope for future development,” he said.

“Multiple projects have been initiated under the new leadership of our country and could hopefully allow Uzbekistan to build a powerful base for a better tomorrow.”

“Therefore she decided to do everything in her power, financially and physically to support the new development of the country.”

In general, Islam Karimov Jr. said that his mother made a lot of useful things for Uzbekistan, in particular, in the sphere of culture, fashion, health care and education. He noted that Gulnara Karimova is again ready to participate in the socio-political life of the country.

Note: in July 2017, the Uzbek Prosecutor General’s Office disclosed the details of the Gulnara Karimova’s case. She was found guilty of a score of financial crimes and was sentenced to 5 years of prison.

It was reported earlier that the Serious Fraud Office in UK issued a claim for civil recovery in the High Court under Part 5 of the Proceeds of Crime Act 2002, concerning a number of assets, including three UK properties, which the SFO alleges were obtained using the proceeds of corrupt deals in Uzbekistan involving Gulnara Karimova and Rustam Madumarov.
