Since its founding, DSL has also been closely linked to another City of London ``private'' security conglomerate, Control Risk, founded in 1974 to provide risk analysis for Lloyds of London. Control Risk draws its personal and directors from the same high-level British military and intelligence ranks as DSL. Its managing director is former SAS Maj. Arish Turle. Its board of directors has included Gen. Sir John Stanier, former Commander in Chief of U.K. Land Forces and Aide-de-Camp General to the Queen; and Lord Soames, former leader of the House of Lords, senior Tory politician, and the son-in-law of the late Winston Churchill. _________________________________ Copied from: <A HREF="http://www.crg.com/about/about_set.htm">http://www.crg.com/about/abou t_set.htm</A> About us Control Risks is the leading, specialist, international business risk consultancy.

Copied from: <A HREF="http://www.crg.com/about/history.htm">http://www.crg.com/about/histor y.htm</A> A brief history Control Risks has been providing advice and consultancy to international clients since its foundation in 1975 as a subsidiary of the Hogg Robinson insurance and travel group. Control Risks constantly strives to be innovative and remain at the leading edge. The company was the first to provide advice to business clients involved in kidnap situations and since 1975 has advised in over 1,000 kidnap and extortion situations in 80 countries, more than any other private sector company. In 1980-81, five members of the management team negotiated a management buy out of the company. This established Control Risks as an independent private company enabling it to give impartial and objective advice to the advantage of its clients. In 1995, Control Risks established an investigative division which has become one of the leading global suppliers of such services to business. Employees remain the majority of the shareholders in the company. Control Risks has grown to a company of over 220 employees with a turnover of �20 million ($30 million) with 14 offices worldwide.

This is not correct nor what was said by Control Risks in the half hour long interview given to the BBC. Control Risks is of the opinion that it is practicable to carry out business in the Former Soviet Union without paying bribes or extortion payments. Control Risks advises many clients of different nationalities with operations in Russia, requiring political analysis and commercial due diligence information and concerning the protection of their operations and staff in country. Control Risks does not advocate the payment of bribes or other unlawful inducements and would like to make clear that clients, advised by us are conducting their business lawfully and successfully without making illegal payments. _________________________________ Liberius <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message caIW3.267$[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Control Risks Group: <A HREF="http://www.crg.com/">http://www.crg.com/</A> > > > Economic forces threaten > bloody new century-report > ==================== > > Updated 10:20 AM ET November 11, 1999 > > LONDON (Reuters) - The spread of Western-style economics could > destabilize governments and trigger the bloody birth of new > states in the early years of the new century, a security > consultancy said Thursday. > > More than 30 new countries could declare independence by 2020 as > multiethnic nations break up under pressure from global economic > forces, Control Risks Group said. > > Asian and African nations' pursuit of foreign investment and > International Monetary Fund loans will force them to adopt > Western economic ideas like smaller governments and reduced > public spending. > > But that will undermine the means by which they have maintained > political stability, giving more democracy to separatist groups > whose struggles for new states may trigger violence and military > conflict, said Control Risks senior analyst David Lewis. > > "The rigors that economic and political liberalization demand > will not make countries more stable, at least in the transition > period.
