It is unclear what the charges in the indictment are.
“We are disappointed with the decision to proceed with what we believe is an unjust prosecution of Mr. Combs by the U.S. Attorney’s Office,” said 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 past 30 years building an empire, adores his children and working to uplift the Black community.”
Agnifilo said his client was “nothing but cooperative” with investigators.
“Please reserve judgment until you have all the facts,” the attorney said. “These are the actions of an innocent man who has nothing to hide, and he looks forward to clearing his name in court.”
Combs, 54, has faced accusations 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 charges including assault and retaliation.
