Diddy’s Phone Seized at Airport Before Bahamas Flight Amid S*x Trafficking Probe- Sean “Diddy” Combs, the 54-year-old music mogul and rapper, has been embroiled in a significant legal and public relations crisis following a series of raids on his properties in Miami and Los Angeles by federal agents.
These raids were conducted as part of an ongoing investigation into s*x trafficking allegations against Combs.
The Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York, along with HSI Los Angeles and HSI Miami, executed the law enforcement actions, which included seizing phones and computers from Combs.
Key Facts
- The investigation into Diddy has expanded beyond s*x trafficking to include other charges, indicating a comprehensive legal effort to address allegations against him.
- Diddy has faced multiple lawsuits accusing him of s*xual abuse and assault, with some of these cases being related to the ongoing investigation. His denial of these allegations has been a central point in his legal defense.
- The raids and the seizure of Diddy’s private jet have sparked public interest and speculation about the nature of the investigation and Diddy’s potential involvement in the allegations.
The raids on Combs’ homes were part of a bi-coastal operation, with Homeland Security agents conducting searches at his luxury properties in both Miami Beach and Los Angeles. The agents were seen wearing vests and carrying bags and boxes of evidence to a van. The raids were led by the Homeland Security Investigations Human Trafficking Task Force, based on a search warrant issued by the Southern District of New York.
Combs was also stopped and questioned by Customs agents at Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport, where his private jet, LoveAir LLC Gulfstream 5, was tracked flying to Antigua. The plane had been observed taking off from Van Nuys at 9 am, flying across California, and then heading to Antigua.
Despite the stop and questioning by federal agents, Combs was not detained or taken into custody. He was seen walking around the Customs office with his entourage but was not arrested.
The investigation into Combs is centered around allegations of s*x trafficking and s*x assault lawsuits. At least four Jane Does and one John Doe have been interviewed by New York prosecutors in connection to the s*x-trafficking allegations and a RICO case. Further interviews are expected.
Combs has vehemently denied the accusations, claiming they are “looking for a quick payday.” He has filed a motion to have the woman’s case thrown out, and she will reportedly remain anonymous until the judge rules on that motion.
