Jeffrey Galmond
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jeffrey Peter Galmond is a Danish lawyer and businessman. He is the owner of the law firm J. P. Galmond & Co. He also claims to own large portions of the holding companies that own the Russian mobile telecommunications operator Megafon. It has been suggested, that Galmond in not the true owner of the Russian assets, but is acting as a front to Russian minister of telecommunications Leonid Reiman.
In February 2007, Galmond was accused by the Bermuda minister of finance, Paula Cox of money laundering. She asked the supreme court to wind up IPOC International Growth Fund, a company run by Galmond, along with several other companies associated with Galmond.
Galmond has worked as a lawyer for companies associated with the Icelandic conglomerate Baugur and some see him as a connection between Baugur and Russian businessmen.
