saw witnesses like Leonardo DiCaprio and former Attorney General Jeff Sessions take the stand and testify under oath. Prosecutors alleged at trial that the Fugees founder immersed himself in American politics at the behest of Low Taek Jho, also known as Jho Low, who paid him millions to help launder money Low had allegedly embezzled from a state-owned investment fund in his home country. The alleged scheme involved payments to Barack Obama's 2012 presidential reelection campaign and efforts to convince the Trump administration to extradite a Chinese national. Low remains at large, but was charged as a codefendant in Michel's case and played a major role in witness testimony and evidence presented to the jury.
According to the Justice Department, Low allegedly misappropriated over $500 million from the sovereign wealth fund 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB) with wire transfers to shell companies he and others owned.Michel testified in his defense last week and said his relationship with Low began in 2006 at a Manhattan nightclub. Low, Michel said, bought bottles of champagne for everyone in the club and flashed his wealth. Years later — as then-President Barack Obama ran for reelection — prosecutors alleged Low paid Michel $20 million to develop a scheme by which Low's foreign wealth could be illegally funneled into the Obama campaign through straw donors and political committees.Prosecutors did not allege Obama campaign officials were aware of the purported illegal payments and said they were «duped» into accepting illicit funds. During his testimony, however, Michel offered a different interpretation of the events.
