Pras Michel Makes Bold Decision to Testify in His Own Federal Conspiracy Trial
The Fugees' Pras Michel made the bold decision to testify at his own federal conspiracy trial, where he discussed his relationship with Jho Low.

The Fugees’ Pras Michel discussed his relationship with Malaysian financier Jho Low and said he served as an informal FBI informant regarding China’s efforts to extradite a prominent dissident after making the bold decision to testify at his own federal trial on Tuesday, April 18.
It’s rare for defendants to take the stand at their own trials, but Michel reportedly told the judge he chose to do so “after consulting with my attorneys and the universe” (per Mother Jones reporter Dan Friedman on Twitter).
Michel has pleaded not guilty to federal charges of conspiracy and falsifying records. The charges are tied to Low’s alleged exploits, with the financier accused of stealing $4.5 billion from Malaysia’s 1MDB sovereign wealth fund. (Low is named as a co-defendant in the case but is currently a fugitive.)
