Conrad Black is back in Toronto.

The former media baron was greeted by his wife, Barbara Amiel, at their Bridle Path home.

Black was released this morning from a Florida prison where he’s been serving a 42 month sentence for fraud and obstruction of justice. But his troubles aren’t over just yet. Black is facing a $70 million bill from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service, and it’s unclear how long he’ll be able to stay in Canada.

Now a British citizen, Black renounced his Canadian citizenship in 2001 to join the British House of Lords. However Ottawa has granted his application for a one-year temporary residency permit.
