According to Politico, Leonardo DiCaprio might be one of 72 witnesses called to testify in regards to Pras Michel's upcoming money laundering trial. The trial comes a year after he was indicted for allegedly facilitating an unregistered, back-channel campaign in 2017 to influence the then-administration of the President of the United States (Donald Trump) and the Department of Justice both to drop the investigation of Malaysian financier Jho Low and 1MDB investment company.

DiCaprio, specifically, could be called because of his known ties to Low. His 2013 film The Wolf of Wall Street was funded by Low, who allegedly used money he embezzled from the Malaysian sovereign wealth fund.

According to the Justice Department, between June 2012 and November 2012, Low allegedly directed the transfer of approximately $21,600,000 from foreign entities and accounts to Michel for the purpose of funneling significant sums of money into the United States presidential election as purportedly legitimate contributions.

Pras faces charges of witness tampering, conspiracy to commit money laundering, and conspiracy to make false statements to banks. He previously pled not guilty. If convicted, the artist could face five to 20 years in prison.
