SAO PAULO - American actor Leonardo DiCaprio on Saturday denied a claim by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro that he had helped fund groups allegedly linked to fires in the Amazon rain forest.

In his weekly broadcast on Thursday, Bolsonaro accused DiCaprio of"collaborating with the fires in the Amazon" by donating US$500,000 to a group he said had started fires in the ecologically sensitive forest in order to attract donations. But regional police claim that some members linked to the group have actually started fires in a bid to raise international funding.Investigators say the volunteers set several fires in order to sell photos of the blazes to the World Wide Fund for Nature for use in a campaign to raise international donations - including from DiCaprio.
