Update: 2025-12-06
Description
Fugees rapper Pras Michel challenges 14-year prison sentence, files appeal in U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Convicted on ten counts, including conspiracy, foreign lobbying, and money laundering, Michel allegedly accepted $100M from Malaysian financier Jho Low to influence U.S. politics and help Low avoid extradition. Prosecutors argued Michel funneled foreign money into Obamas 2012 campaign and tried to influence Trump administration. Sentenced to 14 years in prison and ordered to forfeit $65M, Michels legal team argued for probation, citing charitable work and claiming manipulation by Low. D.C. Circuit will review trial and sentencing for potential errors.
