Investigators at Conrad Black's Hollinger publishing empire are looking into investments linked to company directors Henry Kissinger and Richard Perle, including a venture capital fund and a British technology company.

Daily Telegraph owner Hollinger put £8m into UK firm Cambridge Display Technology, in which the former US Defence Policy Board chairman Mr Perle has a stake, the Wall Street Journal said today.

The company also invested £1.5m in Trireme Associates, the partner of venture capital fund Trireme Partners, which is co- managed by Mr Perle.

Mr Kissinger - an adviser to President Nixon and the US secretary of state from 1973 to 1977 - served as a board member of Trireme.

1. I heard on the news that Hollinger (Black) can't pay back the monies...

because then they would default on their loans. It sure sounds like he is in deep financial trouble, awwwwww. I just hope that the investigations in Canada and the US don't back off. I despise Black and all his buddies. I hope they go down in flames.
