ワシントン・ポストによれば、コドルコフスキーはカーライル・グループとの関係を持っている。
ユコスのコドルコフスキーは、ジェームス・ベーカー、ジョン・メージャーなどと共に15人の投資アドバイザーのなかに入っている。
ジョージ・ブッシュ・シニアは10月にカーライルのアジア・ファンド(のアドバイザー)を辞任した直後にモスクワで投資家との(客引きの)会食会を持った。
-------------------------------------------------------------------
ロシアはカーライルにとっては「真空地帯」だったようだが、今後はロシアの投資を強化したい意向があり、ブッシュ・シニアの旗振りのもとで、コドルコフスキーがロシア側のエージェントになっていたようだ。
プーチンはこのカーライルの戦略を阻止したということで、信任選挙に大勝するも西側のメディアで「非民主的」と避難されなから、「イスラム過激派」の爆弾テロに見舞われるという、まるでイラクのような状況を捏造されつつある。モスクワがカーライルのテリトリーになりつつあるようだ。

Arrested Russian Businessman Is Carlyle Group Adviser
By Greg Schneider
Washington Post Staff Writer
Monday, November 10, 2003; Page E04
The arrest of two of Russia's top businessmen in recent months was more than a distant headline for Washington's well-connected private equity firm, Carlyle Group.
Carlyle, known for the glittering roster of former statesmen among its partners and advisers, has ties to both Mikhail Khodorkovsky and Platon Lebedev, the jailed Russian tycoons.
Khodorkovsky, 40, Russia's richest man and former chief executive of Yukos Oil Co., serves as an adviser to Carlyle's Energy Group. He is among 15 luminaries who help the firm sort through investment opportunities in energy industries, along with former secretary of state James A. Baker III, former British prime minister John Major and Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Daniel Yergin.
Khodorkovsky was arrested last month by Russian authorities for alleged fraud and tax evasion. Because the billionaire is seen as a possible political rival to President Vladimir Putin, his arrest has unsettled the country's business community and worried foreign investors.
Carlyle spokesman Christopher W. Ullman declined to comment on the matter.
Sources close to the firm say Carlyle is taking a cautious look at the business climate in Russia. So far, Carlyle has no investments in Russia, and has not followed through on preliminary discussions about starting a buyout fund with Russian investment company Alfa Group, the sources said.
Lebedev, chairman of Group Menatep, a holding company that is a major shareholder in Yukos, was arrested in July on fraud charges. Lebedev had served as an adviser to Carlyle's European investment funds, but is no longer listed on the firm's Web site.
Neither man has played a significant role for Carlyle, the sources said. Carlyle does not disclose its compensation to advisers.
Meanwhile, the firm has lost the services of its most prominent associate: former president George H.W. Bush, who was senior adviser for Carlyle's Asia funds, retired last month, shortly after serving as the main draw at a dinner in Moscow to woo investors.

Carlyle Group in $350 million Asia plan
Our Bureau in Bangalore
Published : December 11, 2003
The Carlyle Group, a leading private equity firm with over $17.5 billion under management, has announced that it has set aside nearly $350 million for specific investments in Asia.
The tier I and tier II Carlye Asia Venture Partners offers $159 million and $170 million, respectively.
Announcing the nature of deals being pursued by the equity firm, Tony Jansz, managing director, The Carlyle Group, said, メAsia has emerged as the major outsourcing hub. The consumption levels for products, especially in the wireless and telecom space is much higher. While it remains to be seen as to where we would put our money, it is clear that that we will also provide value addition to these companies by leveraging on our existing clientele.モ
Jansz said that Carlyle is in talks with three companies, which have a unique business proposition but declined to comment on their area of operation.
Of the total sum that has been set aside for investments in Asia, Carlye has said that China and India would attract nearly 30-35 per cent each, while South Korea is expected to be the other key region for investments.
メWe are also in talks with companies in which we have already invested in India. They are likely to go in for a second round funding. We are likely to invest about $30-40 million in these companies within the next 9 months,モ Jansz added. It may be noted that The Carlyle Group has invested in six active companies in India.
QuEST, a Bangalore-based CAD/CAM company for well-known aerospace, automobile and turbo space majors of the world seems to be the key contender for additional investments from The Carlyle Group.
The Carlyle Group has identified India, China and South Korea based on the significant leads that these nations have gained in the respective areas of outsourcing, components and manufacturing.
Carlyle has over 500 employees, including 279 investment professionals, in 12 countries. It has committed $17.5 billion in capital, which translates to 23 funds.
Of this, about $10.4 billion of equity has been invested in over 306 transactions. Carlyle boasts of 2.8 times equity returned on realised corporate investments.
