BELGIUM– MARCH 2022

​

The proceeds of Karimova’s corrupt telecoms dealings (detailed in full in the Swiss and United States update sections) were laundered through various offshore companies, and properties around the globe. The US civil complaint In Rem (case no. 15-cv-05063), for example, froze US $300,000,000 assets in accounts registered in Belgium, Ireland and Luxembourg. The civil complaint document states that assets gained from the corrupt dealings were held at the Bank of New York Mellon in Brussels, Belgium. There were assets valued (30 September 2013) at a total of US $256,082,420.72 which were reported to be the proceeds of crime. 

So far US $5.83 million has been seized as a result of US In Rem proceedings (15-cv-05063 & 1:16-cv-01257). A detailed breakdown of these assets can be found below.
