The US Department of Justice claims that $ 3,5 billion were stolen from the Malaysian people from the country's economic development fund 1MDB.

Among these funds were the rights to the film "The Wolf of Wall Street", writes CNN.

The US government is demanding the confiscation of assets acquired with stolen money, the total value of which is about $ 1 billion, and this list also includes income from the movie “The Wolf of Wall Street”.

Among the assets that were acquired on stolen funds, luxury and hotel property in New York, Los Angeles and London, paintings by Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet, a jet plane, and the rights to the film “The Wolf of Wall Street”, which was released in 2013 year, and the producer was a Malaysian official.

According to the newspaper, the assets were acquired by the stepchild of the Prime Minister of Malaysia and people associated with the fund.

1MDB Foundation was founded by Malaysian Prime Minister Najib Razak, who is now accused of corruption, to bring the country's economy out of crisis. In the summer of 2015, the media accused Razak of misappropriating the fund. Premier denied the allegations, saying that the money in his accounts are donations from his supporters.

At the same time, it became aware of 1MDB's debts of $ 11 billion, later investigators became interested in having $ 700 million in Razak's personal accounts in Swiss bank. In September, the FNI launched an 2015 investigation into money laundering through 1MDB.
