Petition
of Uzdemfundsuisse
to the government, Central Bank and General
Prosecutor’s Office of Uzbekistan
Uzdemfundsuisse
has managed to obtain a very important information from two different
sources in the last month. With backing to these information, we
would like to send following questions to the government, Central
Bank and General Prosecutor’s Office of Uzbekistan:
- Has Gulnara Karimova ever been involved in storing the gemstones in depositories of Central Bank of Uzbekistan?
- Was there any record of shortage in these depositories?
- Has Gulnara Karimova ever been engaged in trading with gemstones in Switzerland? Was the trade of diamonds, which had been traded under the brand of Chopard, authorised by Central Bank of Uzbekistan?
- Is president of Uzbekistan aware of that these documents (e.g., authorisation by Central Bank) are being considered as forged by Swiss authorities? If so, is he happy that these gemstones are confiscated by Swiss authorities as exhibit in ongoing criminal investigation.
- Will documents containing a detailed information about an exact value of the gemstones, which were found in Gulnara Karimova’s Villa in Switzerland, be presented to International Courts.
There
are some genuine documents, which had been given for gemstones
trading and directly belong to Uzbek state, are under consideration
in an ongoing criminal investigations and trails against Gulnara
Karimova, Uzdemfundsuisse has got some copies of these documents in
its possession and this makes suspension or halt of ongoing criminal
investigation due to bilateral agreement impossible. Swiss General
Prosecutor’s Office as well as Uzbek authorities must to take into
account that this wealth, which is equal to billions of dollars,
pertains to uzbek people and has to be immediately returned to Uzbek
people! Since 2010 Uzdemfundsuisse has been publishing materials
about the construction of Gulnara Karimova’s Villa in Switzerland
and illigel lodge of part of Uzbek state treasury into this villa on
a regular basis.
We demand that above
mentioned organisations, of course taking into account an ongoing
criminal investigations, publicised their answers for our questions.
Lawyers, legal advisers and experts of Uzdemfundsuisse are ready to
raise above mentioned questions before Geneva’s cantonal Prosecutor
and in Swiss courts.
