Former Fugees rapper Pras has become the latest American celebrity to find himself tangled up in a massive Malaysian embezzlement scandal.
Prakazrel 'Pras' Michel, a founding member of the hit 1990s group, is now fighting the US government over a $38million civil forfeiture complaint.
Michel is accused of aiding a scheme to try and get the Justice Department to drop an investigation into embezzlement from a Malaysian investment fund, according to the complaint.
It claims Michel was looped into the scheme by the brother of Jho Low, a fugitive Malaysian financier who was charged by the Justice Department last year with embezzling from the fund - known as 1MDB - to finance his luxurious lifestyle.
Michel allegedly opened bank accounts under false pretenses to help finance a lobbying campaign that unsuccessfully tried to shut down the investigation into 1MDB.
