Black denied Canada return

FORMER media mogul Conrad Black will not be allowed to return to his home in Canada for the time being, a US judge ruled yesterday.

District Judge Amy St Eve in Chicago ordered Black to surrender his expired passport. She also said he cannot obtain a new passport without the court’s permission.

Black was freed from prison in Florida on bail on Wednesday after serving two years of a six-and-a-half-year sentence for defrauding investors out of $6.1 million (€4.7m.)
