LEONARDO DICAPRIO

Actor returns Marlon Brando’s Oscar statuette to the US as part of a money laundering probe

1 Red Granite Pictures, which funded his film The Wolf of Wall Street, had given DiCaprio the Oscar and other artefacts in 2012 as gifts for his 38th birthday, which the actor intended to auction in order to raise money for charity

2 The US suspects Red Granite co-founder Riza Aziz may have helped his stepfather, Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, embezzle $4.5 billion from political development schemes

3 The laundered money was allegedly used to fund a lavish lifestyle, including purchases of artwork and jewellery, and the acquisition of luxury real estate and yacht.
