Leonardo DiCaprio testified in federal court Monday in a case involving international money laundering and bribery. DiCaprio, 48, took the witness stand to talk about his connection to Jho Low – one of the primary financiers of his film "Wolf of Wall Street." Jho Low, also known as Low Taek Jho, has been accused of stealing billions of dollars from a Malaysian state investment fund.
Prakazrel "Pras" Michel is accused of funneling money for Jho Low into Barack Obama's 2012 election campaign. Michel is known as a founder of the 1990s hip-hop group The Fugees.
