Conrad Black will not be allowed to return to Canada before his sentencing in November on fraud charges, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Black had asked the court for permission to return to his mansion in Toronto, but Judge Amy St. Eve said in Chicago unless he posted additional assets, she was not prepared to let him leave the jurisdiction of U.S. authorities. His lawyers indicated he had no further assets to pledge.
