Singer Sean Combs arrested in America: Music industry legend Sean Combs, who is surrounded by allegations of sexual harassment in America, was arrested from a hotel on Monday evening.
He has been indicted by a grand jury. Combs’ attorney, Mark Agnifilo, said he believes he has been charged with racketeering and sex trafficking.
Combs arrived in New York last week
Combs, 54, was cooperating with the investigation after his legal team issued a statement saying they were disappointed by the decision to prosecute him, The New York Times reported.
He arrived in New York voluntarily last week. The statement said Sean is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man and philanthropist.
He built an empire over the last 30 years, loved his children, and worked to uplift the black community.
US Attorney Damian Williams of the Southern District of New York released a statement on social media late Monday night. In the statement, it is hoped that the indictment will be unveiled in the morning and he will have a lot more to say.
Combs is also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy
According to The New York Times, Combs was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations officers at around 8:30 p.m. at the Park Hyatt Hotel on 57th Street in New York. He is expected to be held overnight and then arraigned on Tuesday.
Combs, also known as Diddy and Puff Daddy, was sued by his ex-girlfriend Cassandra Ventura in November last year, accusing him of sexual and physical abuse. Earlier, his places in Los Angeles and Miami have been raided.
