摘要

Things have taken yet another turn for the worse for Conrad Black, the newspaper owner accused of wrongly taking money from his company. This week, a modified lawsuit from Hollinger International, the firm he "controls" with special voting shares, accuses him, his wife, his firms and three colleagues of racketeering under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO). Hollinger International is now seeking some $1.25 billion from its former management. The RICO law was originally designed for use against organised crime and drug traffickers. It helped defeat some New York Mafia families in the 1980s. Then prosecutors used it against Michael Milken, a junk bond trader, in 1989. Since then, RICO, a criminal statute, has often been used in civil actions because it can result in triple damages. Lord Black's spokesman this week called the racketeering charges "tabloid journalism masquerading as law".
