International mobile phone companies jumped at the chance to invest in the fast- growing Uzbekistan market but little did they know they would instead be funding the unlimited financial ambitions of the President's daughter.

Gulnara Karimova, the elder daughter of Uzbek President Islam Karimov, is being investigated for taking bribes for allowing Scandinavian and Russian telecom companies TeliaSonera and VimpelCom to operate in Uzbekistan. The Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) has found new records that show she was far greedier and the scale of her alleged corruption was far wider than has been reported.
