Uzbek President's Son-in-Law Acquired UAE Citizenship While in Security Post

An OCCRP/Ozodlik investigation reveals that Otabek Umarov, son-in-law of Uzbekistan's president and then-deputy head of the Presidential Security Service, obtained Emirati citizenship in 2023. This raises conflict-of-interest and corruption concerns, potentially straining Uzbekistan-UAE relations and domestic political stability. The claim is based on investigative reporting, not official confirmation.
