The head of Bruno Manser Funds offered DiCaprio to lay down his mandate of the UN Messenger of Peace, because of being accused of having links with corrupted entrepreneurs.  The charity foundation of Leonardo DiCaprio is suspected of money laundering and having suspicious ties with Malaysian funds.

The US Justice Department submitted a lawsuit to Los Angeles County district court. Investigative agencies suspect the Oscar-winning actor in laundering the amount of more than $ 3 billion. The amount was allegedly transferred from Malaysia’s national welfare foundation. Currently, the state officials are determined to check philanthropic projects of Leonardo DiCaprio's Foundation and found out how much the foundation spends for other purposes.

"Leonardo DiCaprio has consistently refused to explain his close personal and financial ties with key persons of the Malaysian 1MDB scandal...we ask him to step down as UN Messenger for Peace for climate change,” said Lukas Straumann, the director of Bruno Manser Funds. According to Hollywood Reporter, that the actor personally is not the target of the investigation.
