Reiman Resorts to St. Petersburg Courts to "Prove" that he is Innocent

I should really start a section on the Reiman/Alfa battle. Back from my summer hols, obligatory school essay to follow, to discover that the MinSvyaz has convinced the Prosecutor's office to open a criminal investigation in to kompromat.ru (a Russian-language scandal website) for reporting that documents lodged with the courts in the British Virgin Islands allegedly show that Reiman took a $1mn bribe for easing a British businessman's way to obtain a license. Here's the link in the Moscow Times it will degrade in a day or so. I'll update when I find a permanent link.

The only thing that it proves is that the "law" is whatever the authorities want it to be.
