Rozhetskin’s suit against Reiman: details

Someone dropped me an (anonymous) comment asking how Mr. Reiman was getting on in his ongoing campaign of lying through every pore in his body.  And I have to admit that I have been negligent in keeping you all up to date. Looks as though Mr. Friedman and his friends in the TNk part of TNK-BP have had bigger things on their minds and poor (figuratively of course) Leonid Rozhetskin has become the sideshow, or is that freak show, in lieu of the next steps - whatever they maybe.

Russian Information Technologies Minister Leonid Reiman seems to be having serious problems. Leonid Rozhetskin, MegaFon founder has accused him in threatening, money laundering, and attempts to manipulate the Russian legislation in order to get control over the operator. Mr. Rozhetskin asks for $500mln compensation. However, his “selective memory” puts in question the serious intention of his accusations.
An American citizen of Russian descent, Leonid Rozhetskin, has revised his suit against the Minister of Information Technologies Leonid Reiman. He filed the suit to the New-York South district court on the US Act against corruption in autumn last year. Mr. Rozhetskin demanded that Mr. Reiman should stop hunting the former and pay compensation as stated by the court. Later Mr. Rozhetskin himself estimated the damage caused to his business at $500mln.

In 2000 Leonid Rozhetskin founded the Moscow Sonic-Duo operator. He later exchanged the company’s controlling share for 25,1% of the Russian MegaFon operator. The man claims he had to face strong pressure on behalf of Mr. Reiman.

Mr. Rozhetskin said Mr. Reiman entrusted Jeffrey Galmond to deal with the share transfer process. Mr. Rozhetskin signed an agreement with Mr. Galmond to sell 77% of Sonic Duo shares to the IPOC fund “at a low price”. Mr. Rozhetskin claims when he asked Mr. Galmond who was behind IPOC, the latter replied: “It is Reiman’s structure”. Mr. Galmond now claims he is the IPOC owner and denies any Reiman connections to it. In December Mr. Rozhetskin allegedly singed an agreement under pressure to sell the remaining shares to IPOC. However, he later refused to fulfill the two agreements and left MegaFon in 2003. His shares went to Alfa Group.

Mr. Rozhetskin also explained the reason for adfressing the American court. He said Mr. Reiman uses American structures in his offshore networks. He allegedly owned the Luxemburg Complus Holdings through the US registered Alpine Strategic marketing. He had all the assets registered there in 1990s.

The Zurich Tribunal decision is the main argument in Mr. Rozhetskin’s suit against Mr. Reiman. Meanwhile, in his suit to the American court Mr. Rozhetskin didn’t mention the fact that the tribunal has declined his claims on Mr. Reiman’s threats recognizing hi as IPOC owner. The judges thought Mr. Rozhetskin had quite a “selective memory” if he remembers only some events that took place in winter 2001. besides they were surprised Mr. Rozhetskin, being an American citizen and a lawyer, didn’t inform his lawyers about Mr. Reiman’s threats.

As to Leonid Reiman, he said he was glad about Mr. Rozhetskin filing a suit to the new-York court, since the case will put an end to the slender which he came across the during the recent few years. IPOC also denies Mr. Rozhetskin’s accusations. “If Mr. Rozhetskin was forced to sell MegaFon shares, why was the agreement formed by his lawyers and they had the only sample, and we find it difficult to get a copy of it”, IPOC representatives say.
