It’s unclear what the charges are in the indictment.
“We are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” his attorney, Marc Agnifilo, told TMZ. “Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is a music icon, self-made entrepreneur, loving family man, and proven philanthropist who has spent the last 30 years building an empire, adoring his children, and working to uplift the Black community.”
Agnifilo said his client had been “nothing but cooperative” with investigators.
“Please reserve your judgment until you have all the facts,” the lawyer said. “These are the acts of an innocent man with nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Combs, 54, has faced allegations from several women. Last November, he settled a lawsuit with singer Cassie after she accused him of sexual and physical abuse during their years-long relationship. Singer Dawn Richard sued him in a separate case earlier this month on accusations of sexual assault and retaliation, among other claims.
