DiCaprio, who wore a dark suit, light shirt and skinny dark necktie, said he met Low at a party and they bonded over several years and on trips. He recounted one New Year’s Eve when they celebrated in Australia and then flew on a private jet to do it all over again in Las Vegas.
Hollywood star Leonardo DiCaprio testified Monday at the trial of Grammy-winning rapper Pras Michel, where the actor discussed his party-fueled relationship with fugitive financier Jho Low, who underwrote the actor’s 2013 smash movie, The Wolf of Wall Street.
Michel is charged with joining a back-channel campaign to lobby the administration of President Donald Trump to drop an investigation of Low, who’s accused of embezzling billions of dollars from Malaysian development fund 1MDB. Low, who was indicted with Michel and is considered a fugitive, lavished gifts on DiCaprio after they met in 2010, prosecutors say.
