Telegraph | News | Conrad Black faces eight counts of fraud: "Conrad Black was charged yesterday with eight counts of fraud after allegedly pocketing millions of pounds of shareholders' money.
The charges were brought after a lengthy investigation by the United States attorney's office and the FBI into Lord Black and the publishing group Hollinger International, the former owner of The Daily Telegraph, of which he was the chief executive until November 2003.
