1996 Mass Breakout

In January 1996, a mass breakout from Azkaban set ten long-imprisoned Death Eaters loose. Voldemort had little trouble arranging this as many of the Dementors were happy to oblige his dark whims. The Daily Prophet, probably with a touch of encouragement from the Ministry of Magic, reported that none other than the escaped criminal Sirius Black must be responsible for the incident.
