Fugees Rapper Pras Michel Sentenced to 14 Years in Prison
Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, Grammy-winning rapper and Fugees member, has begun serving a 14-year federal prison sentence. Michel was convicted of illegally channeling millions in foreign contributions to former President Barack Obama’s 2012 reelection campaign and obstructing justice. Prosecutors detailed how he funneled over $120 million from Malaysian billionaire Low Taek Jho, using straw donors and attempting to influence a Justice Department investigation. Despite his legal team continuing to contest the charges, Michel reported to a correctional facility in Arizona.
