TASHKENT (Reuters) - Uzbekistan's government offered a glimpse on Friday of the lifestyle enjoyed by its former leader's children, promoting a luxury villa in 94 acres of grounds that it aims to auction off to a hotel developer.

Featuring a winery, a disco hall, a private cinema, an amphitheatre, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a tennis court and a Japanese winter garden, the confiscated property belonged to Gulnara Karimova, a daughter of Islam Karimov, who ruled the country for 27 years until his death in 2016.
