Pras begins 14-year sentence



quote:

Ready or not, Pras has begun a 14-year prison for money laundering and illegal lobbying.

The Fugees rapper (real name: Prakazrel Michel) turned himself in on Thursday to the Federal Correctional Institution in Safford, Ariz.

“Today is a painful day for Pras, for his family, and for everyone who believes in a fair system of justice,” spokesperson Erica Dumas said in a statement. “Pras honors the legal process as he reports to begin his sentence. The FARA-related charges that led to his conviction are being vigorously contested on appeal, and his legal team believes the record will show that his rights were violated and the truth was obscured. This chapter is difficult but it is not his final one.”


The Score was an absolute banger of an album though

Can't even post a snippet of the article at least letting us know why he's going to prison? Damn, son.

I haven't kept up with the Fugees since about 1996, so I'm not up to date on my Pras knowledge.

I’m white and gainfully employed, so I have no clue what this thread is about.

I guess the refugee camp really was under investigation.

Wait til he tells the prison cook he wants no onions in his fried rice.

Was it Wyclef or Pras who was/ran for the governor seat of Haiti?

If it was Pras, the documentary of this dudes life will be fascinating.

14 years is way too long of sentence for illegal campaign contributions. Unless he stole the money which doesn’t appear he did, this is outrageous.
