Conrad Black is facing new charges of tax evasion. US prosecutors have added indictments which allege that the former owner of the Telegraph group "wilfully caused" Hollinger International Inc to file false corporate income tax returns by approximately $13m (£6.9m) and $16m (£8.5m) in 1999 and 2000. Black's lawyer, Edward Greenspan, scorned the new charges, saying: "It has been our position from the very outset that the prosecutor has a weak case... Adding even more unfounded charges doesn't make the prosecutor's case any better." (Via CBC)
