Editor's Take:
Gulnara Karimova was once seen as a possible successor to her father, who ruled Uzbekistan for 25 years. She combined diplomatic posts with fashion lines, pop music and a huge business empire. US diplomats described her as someone who took a share of almost every profitable industry. Her fall began in 2013 after a public split with her family. Prosecutors in several countries then traced vast sums linked to telecoms deals. Her case became one of the biggest corruption stories in Central Asia.
