Blacklisted

Poor Baron Black of Crossharbour is to remain trapped in a luxury hotel suite in Chicago or his Florida mansion after his request to be allowed to return to his home in Toronto to await sentencing was rejected. The judge heard that Lord Black's agreement not to fight extradition back from Canada to the US was not legally enforceable. She also heard that accusations that Lord Black may have moved as much as 60 million Canadian dollars into secret off shore accounts in the Channel Islands and the Caribbean since 2005.
