After the first defeat of Voldemort at the hands of 1 year-old Harry Potter, Lucius lied to the Ministry of Magic, telling them that he had been under the control of the Imperius Curse and forced to join the Death Eaters against his will. By doing this, he avoided imprisonment in Azkabanand although he had convinced the Ministry of Magic of his innocence, many, such as Arthur Weasley, did not believe him.
