Org vs. Leo decries ‘Wolf’

A Swiss environmental group is demanding that Leonardo DiCaprio apologize and return more than $100 million in tainted cash allegedly used to produce “The Wolf of Wall Street,” pay for a gambling trip and fund his charity group.

The head of the Bruno Manser Fund, which works to protect Malaysian rainforests, called it a “disgrace” that DiCaprio allegedly benefited from what the feds have portrayed as the systematic looting of $3 billion in Malaysian state funds.

“We are deeply disturbed that Leonardo DiCaprio and his foundation accepted assets that originate from the proceeds of corruption in Malaysia,” said fund director Lukas Straumann.

“This is a disgrace and in total contradiction with the declared aims of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation. We call on DiCaprio to apologize and pay back all this dirty money to the Malaysian people.”

In July, the US Justice Department filed a series of civil fraud suits seeking $1 billion in American assets allegedly purchased with money stolen by Malaysian officials from the government-funded 1Malaysia Development Berhad.

Feds say that some of the cash bankrolled production of “The Wolf of Wall Street,” and that one of the alleged fund looters also used money to fund a Las Vegas gambling trip with DiCaprio and to buy paintings whose auction proceeds were later donated to the actor’s charity.

DiCaprio and his foundation didn’t return calls for comment.
