CONRAD BLACK TRIAL -
That Giant Sucking Sound -

The prosecutor described how Black "devised a cynical plot to siphon off millions that rightfully belonged to shareholders."

Each time they sold a newspaper, they would insist that the buyer pay part of the fee as a 'non-competition fee.'

By having the 'non-compete fees' paid directly to subsidiary companies, through which Black and Radler controlled Hollinger International, and failing to disclose the payment to shareholders, they could cream off a percentage for themselves.
