The Treasury Department is reportedly investigating whether Dennis Rodman broke the law by bringing North Korean leader Kim Jong Un thousands of dollars in luxury gifts on his most recent trip to Pyongyang.
A U.S. official told The Daily Beast that Treasury officials are looking into whether the former NBA star violated a law that prohibits the importing of luxury goods into North Korea. The official said the State Department is involved in the investigation.
Rodman recently led a team of retired NBA players in a game in Pyongyang to celebrate Kim's 31st birthday. The Hall of Famer gave Kim a trove of gifts worth more than $10,000, including an Italian suit, a fur coat, European crystal, and an English Mulberry handbag for Kim’s wife, according to The Weekly Standard.
