Pras Michel, a founding member of the hip-hop group the Fugees, was sentenced Thursday to 14 years in federal prison for illegally funneling millions of dollars in foreign money into U.S. political campaigns.
A jury found him guilty in April 2023 of 10 counts, including conspiracy and acting as an unregistered foreign agent, in connection with a scheme involving Malaysian financier Jho Low.
The judge rejected prosecutors’ call for a life sentence, but described Michel’s conduct as “brazen.”
