Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio gave bombshell testimony in court for the prosecution in federal court on Monday morning as part of hip-hop star Pras Michel's money laundering trial with the 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB)
DiCaprio's involvement in the case stems from the money behind his film 'The Wolf of Wall Street,' which was in part funded by the man who allegedly masterminded the 1MDB plot.
Prakazrel 'Pras' Michel is a founding member of 90s group The Fugees.
He is accused of funneling money from fugitive Malaysian financer Jho Low through donors to former President Barack Obama's 2012 reelection campaign.
Prosecutors allege that Michel attempted to illegally lobby both the Obama and Trump administrations by using funds given to him by Low that were stolen millions from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.
DiCaprio, the prosecution's star witness, told the court that Michel attended lavish parties thrown by Low - including a New Year's Eve celebration in Australia and then Las Vegas.
