Leonardo DiCaprio Takes the Stand in High-Profile Trials.

Leonardo DiCaprio testified in a federal court as part of a trial involving international money laundering, bribery, and a prominent rap artist. Michel, a founding member of The Fugees, is accused of funneling money from a fugitive Malaysian financier through straw donors to Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign. DiCaprio's connection with the case comes from his years-long relationship with Low, who was one of the primary financiers of the movie The Wolf of Wall Street. Low is accused of masterminding an international money laundering and bribery scheme that stole billions from the Malaysian state investment fund known as 1MDB.
