What does "he is said to~" mean?
Please look at the following sentence.
Mr.Yosiko is said to have been running his own private business without any help from others.
I'd like ask you what the sentence means. Is it " I heard that Mr.Yosiko has been running his own private business without any help from others"
Thank you in advance for your teaching.
