A US judge has resentenced former media tycoon Conrad Black to 42 months in prison for his convictions for fraud and obstruction. He will serve only 13 months because of time already served.
The Canadian-born British peer was convicted in 2007 of defrauding shareholders in media holding company Hollinger of $6.1m (£3.8m).
He was freed in 2010 after the US Supreme Court court found an anti-corruption law unconstitutional.
The court let two other charges stand.
