(FILES) British media tycoon Conrad Blac

Montreal, CANADA: (FILES) British media tycoon Conrad Black(L) and his wife Barbara Amiel arrive for the wedding reception of former Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's daughter, Caroline, in this 16 September 2000 file photo, in Montreal. Canadian-born tycoon Conrad Black was indicted 17 November 2005, on 11 counts of fraud for allegedly siphoning off millions of dollars from Hollinger International, the operating company for his media empire, US authorities said. US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald announced the indictment in Chicago, culminating months of investigations into malfeasance at what had been a sprawling global media empire. Black, who renounced Canadian citizenship to become a member of the British House of Lords, was added to the defendants in an earlier indictment alleging the misappropriation of 32 million dollars from the media company. He was also charged in a new scheme that improperly diverted 51.8 million USD from the 2000 sale of a group of Hollinger newspapers to CanWest of Canada.
