Reports indicate that the high-end property was acquired by the Uzbek citizen in November of last year. The buyer’s listed address is the Korea-Uzbekistan Traditional Medicine Clinic in Tashkent.
Financial records confirm that the entire amount was paid in cash, as there is no registered mortgage on the property deed.
