Former media baron Conrad Black reports to Florida prison
By JERUSALEM POST STAFF
Former newspaper baron Conrad Black is in federal prison.
Federal Bureau of Prisons spokesman Mike Truman says Black reported Monday to a low-security prison near Coleman, Florida. He is serving a six-and-a-half-year sentence for engineering a major fraud on shareholders in his Hollinger media empire.
Black and his co-defendants were convicted last July of siphoning money out of the company.
The prominent biographer and member of the British House of Lords also has been ordered to pay $6.1 million (€4 million) in restitution.
