Ravelston Corporation Limited was a Canadian holding company that was largely controlled by Conrad Black and business partner David Radler.
[4] At one time, Ravelston controlled 78% of Hollinger Inc.'s stock with Black as CEO and Chairman and Radler as President.
Ravelston held shares in Conrad Black's holding companies, such as Hollinger International, now known as Sun-Times Media Group.
The Toronto-based private company had owned the British Daily Telegraph and Toronto's National Post newspapers.
As a result of Black's and Radler's legal problems involving allegedly unauthorized 'non-compete' payments in the sale of Hollinger International newspapers, Ravelston entered into receivership in summer 2005.
