Jamila Olimboyeva announced on her Instagram page the conclusion of a long-standing dispute over ownership of a residential house in the Mirzo-Ulugbek district of Tashkent. According to her, on April 30, 2026, based on a court ruling, the property was re-registered in her mother's name through a notary office.
The return of the property was carried out by the cousin of businessman Sanjar Karimov, in whose name the house had previously been registered. The procedure was conducted in full compliance with the law, based on a ruling by the criminal court of the Mirzo-Ulugbek district. Olimboyeva emphasized her intention to publish the text of the court ruling in Uzbek to confirm the legality of the process.
This event was preceded by a high-profile investigation that began after the Olimboyev family lost the property in August 2024. At that time, the owners were persuaded to sign a sale-purchase agreement instead of a collateral agreement, presented as an investment in the crypto business of Shahzod Rismatov, Jamila's former fiancé.
The subsequent investigation led to serious criminal consequences: in November 2025, Rismatov was sentenced to 9 years in prison for fraud, and shortly thereafter, Sanjar Karimov himself was arrested on charges of fraud, death threats, and illegal drug trafficking.
During the court hearing in Sanjar Karimov's case, Rismatov explained that businessman Sanjar Karimov had proposed a partnership to open a crypto exchange in Dubai with a total budget of $600,000. Since Rismatov lacked the necessary funds for his share due to upcoming wedding expenses, the option of using real estate as collateral arose.
Sanjar Karimov's defense persistently constructed an alternative version of events. Lawyers attempted to prove that the transfer of funds was solely related to Shahzod Rismatov's personal obligations. Specifically, the defense argued that a tranche of about $300,000 went toward early repayment of an old personal debt Rismatov owed to intermediary Ibrahim Mollanov. According to the defense's version, Karimov acted as a bona fide creditor, not a participant in a fraudulent scheme.
The trial in Karimov's case continues. Today, May 1, 2026, the court proceedings move to the stage of debates.
