Diddy’s jail cell allegedly raided by US federal agents
Federal agents allegedly raided rapper Diddy's jail cell, seizing privileged legal materials. His defense team claims this violated his constitutional rights ahead of his upcoming trial.
In a shocking development, federal agents allegedly raided the jail cell of embattled American rapper Diddy, seizing privileged materials meant for his legal team ahead of his upcoming trial. The rapper, who has been in pre-trial detention since September 2024, had his personal writings and legal documents confiscated, sparking outrage from his defense team.
Diddy’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, accused prosecutors of using these private legal materials to gain an unfair advantage, arguing that the search violated Diddy's constitutional rights. "This search and seizure are in violation of Combs’ Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Amendment rights," Agnifilo stated in a document filed with Manhattan federal court.
The legal team is demanding answers on who authorized the search, insisting that the materials seized were protected by attorney-client privilege and should not be in the hands of the prosecution. Agnifilo urged Judge Arun Subramanian to hold the authorities accountable for this breach.
Judge Subramanian has ordered prosecutors to respond by 5 pm ET on Monday and scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon to address the matter.
As Diddy's legal battle continues, the seizure has raised serious questions about due process and the protection of his rights while in custody. Fans and legal experts alike are closely watching how this controversy will unfold as the trial approaches.
