Reiman was Russian Minister of Telecommunications (later Minister
of Transport and Communications) and then Presidential Counsellor.
During that time he was several times accused in bribery, holding a

of Mr.Reiman relatively small company North-West GSM transformed
into Russian market leader currently known as Megafon. It is the
company from the ‘big three’ of Russian GSM operators. Mr.Reiman,
of course unofficially, held own interest in NW GSW / Megafon.”
