Leonardo DiCaprio had to testify for the money laundering case that involved the rapper Prakazrel “Pras” Michel of The Fugees hip-hop group. He lobbied the U.S. government on behalf of a Malaysian financier and the Chinese government.

The star famous for his role in “Titanic” is one of the several known figures who is linked to the financier Jho Low. He has embezzled $4.5 billion from Malaysia’s 1MDB sovereign wealth fund, according to reports.

Leonardo got a Picasso painting from Jho Low which led to a fair amount of suspicion by the investigating team on him. Jho has also played various Hollywood stars to party with him. It might not be a wrong thing to say that the Malaysian financier has been a known face for breaking the laws.

Prosecutors have put on the argument that Michel was paid a total of $70 million for his work. The lawyers responsible for defending Michel have put on the argument that the rapper didn’t know that he was acting as a facilitator for laundering money.
