2. Since Conrad Black? Perhaps Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay:
Conrad Black guilty of multiple fraud charges



(snip)

"Conrad Black, the former media tycoon, last night faced years in jail after an American jury found him guilty of criminal fraud and obstructing justice.

The Canadian-born peer, once the head of the world's third largest newspaper group, which included The Daily Telegraph, was cleared of nine other charges, including racketeering. He launched an immediate appeal.

Prosecutors said he could expect to go to jail for at least 15 years, though the potential sentence is more than twice that."

(snip)

Black owned The Daily Telegraph from 1986 until 2004, when Hollinger International sold the Telegraph Group to Sir David and Sir Frederick Barclay. Since that time he has had no connection with the newspaper."
