Leonardo DiCaprio ordered to return the fee for the Wolf of Wall Street
Leonardo DiCaprio must "do the right thing" and return his fee, which is estimated at $ 25 million, for his participation in the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street". As reported by The Hollywood Reporter, this statement was made by the non-governmental international anti-corruption organization Transparency International. According to representatives of this structure, a popular Hollywood actor is obliged to do so if the US Department of Justice manages to collect evidence confirming the connection of some producers of the movie with the Malaysian 1MDB foundation, which participated in corruption schemes. "If the Ministry of Justice proves that corruption money was invested in the production of the painting, the failure to return it will actually mean that the funds intended for the citizens of Malaysia have settled on the accounts of Leonardo DiCaprio," the statement said. Representatives of the actor himself claim that he is actively cooperating with the investigation. Recall that the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" was released in 2013 and earned about $ 400 million at the box office. Some of these funds were also intended for DiCaprio, who not only played the main role, but also became the producer of the project. The painting was nominated for a number of prestigious professional awards. The Topic of Article: Leonardo DiCaprio ordered to return the fee for the Wolf of Wall Street. |
