The head of the security service for the eldest daughter of the President of Uzbekistan, Gulnara Karimova, fled the country. reports this Fergana , citing radio Ozodlik (Uzbek service of Radio Liberty).

The name of the bodyguard is not specified. According to a source close to the Karimov family, in the last two or three months, “clouds have gathered over Gulnara’s head,” after which several influential people from her circle also left the country. Karimova herself, according to Ozodlik’s interlocutor, was not released from Uzbekistan last month when she was planning to visit New York.

The source also commented on the information about the suspension of broadcasting of several commercial television channels (TV-Markaz, NTT and SOFTS), controlled by the eldest daughter of the Uzbek leader. According to him, all these companies are currently undergoing “serious checks”, and their management is suspected of “non-compliance with the terms of the license and organizing unregistered cash flows.”

According to representatives of television channels, who wished to remain anonymous, this decision was made “by the political will of the highest-ranking official in the country” (we are talking about Gulnara’s father, Islam Karimov). The author of the material suggested that the Uzbek leader’s anger could be related to his daughter’s recent comments on social networks. In particular, on October 17, Karimova tweeted about her mother’s passion for occult rituals. In her words, she allegedly “lights a star from candles and hangs dry sticks on the door.”

Gulnara Karimova was previously considered as one of the possible successors to the current president of Uzbekistan. She is currently active in social activities, in particular, participating in a number of humanitarian projects.
