Telegraph Titles Sold in Wake of Family Infighting and Financial Woes

Telegraph Titles Sold in Wake of Family Infighting and Financial Woes

The Barclay brothers bought the Telegraph titles in 2004 and enjoyed success at first, but infighting within the family and financial troubles led to the sale of the newspaper.
The Barclays faced accusations of bugging conversations and were involved in a divorce settlement dispute.

Their failure to repay debts to their bank led to the sale of the newspaper, with a price of £700 million being discussed.

The future of the Telegraph titles is uncertain.
