CHICAGO AP – Former newspaper mogul Conrad Black, convicted of swindling shareholders in his Hollinger International media empire out of millions of dollars, is now due to learn just how steep a price he must pay.

Black, 63, a Canadian-born member of the British House of Lords renowned for his lavish lifestyle and flamboyant way with words, was scheduled to be sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve, who presided over his four-month trial earlier this year.
