The report cited a US Justice Department statement that detailed a charge against Low and co-conspirator Prakazrel “Pras” Michel, a member of 90s Hip-Hop group the Fugees alongside Lauryn Hill and Wyclef Jean, which was read before a grand jury there on Thursday. Both Low and Michel have been separately charged for money laundering offences in the US, with Michel also charged for witness tampering and conspiring to make false statements to banks.

The report said prosecutors on Thursday believed both men had worked closely with Trump’s election fundraiser Elliot Broidy.
