TORONTO – Conrad Black and his co-defendants are opposing the U.S. government’s request to have them forfeit US$17 million following their convictions for fraud, saying prosecutors are overreaching and “pushing the forfeiture envelope.” “In recent times, the government’s use of forfeiture power has been criticized,” Black’s lawyers said in documents filed with the U.S. District Court in Chicago.
