Black's lawyers reject false asset allegations
A lawyer for Conrad Black has denied prosecutors’ claims that the former newspaper tycoon gave them false and misleading information about the extent of his assets.
The Chicago court filing by Edward Genson came three days after US government lawyers said Black made “nondisclosures and misrepresentations” when he used his assets to post a $20m (€15.9m) bond last December, securing his freedom following his indictment on fraud and racketeering charges.
