'Father's' Secret Dacha: The Uzbek President's Mountain Hideaway

An investigation by RFE/RL's Uzbek Service has revealed substantial evidence that Uzbek President Shavkat Mirziyoev has a secret luxury residence, complete with landscaped gardens and an artificial lake. Interviews with officials, construction workers, and local people, documentary evidence, and corroborating research by an opposition activist suggest that hundreds of millions of dollars were secretly plowed into the project.
