Swiss prosecutors have charged Gulnara Karimova, the daughter of Uzbekistan's former president, with running an international crime syndicate that laundered hundreds of millions of dollars in bribes.
The authorities have seized assets worth $857m in the probe, covering the period 2005-2013, SIA reports with reference to foreign media.
Karimova has been in jail in Uzbekistan since 2014, convicted of embezzlement. She denies the bribery charges, which concern lucrative telecoms contracts.
She had her own jewellery line, ran an entertainment television channel and released pop singles under the name Googoosha.
The Swiss indictment also targets an unnamed businessman who ran the Uzbek branch of a Russian telecoms firm.
Karimova is accused of taking bribes in return for access to Uzbekistan's telecoms sector and of laundering the money through Swiss bank accounts and an elaborate network of accounts in other countries. Her fake organisation was known as The Office.
In August the UK's Serious Fraud Office (SFO) took control of three luxury properties worth more than £20m owned by Karimova.
