Music Mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs Arrested in Manhattan on Federal Charges By Real Media News 33 | September 17, 2024 NEW YORK CITY—Music industry icon Sean “Diddy” Combs was arrested Monday night at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Manhattan by agents from Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), marking the latest development in a series of legal challenges faced by the producer and entrepreneur. Combs, who has been under scrutiny following multiple sexual assault lawsuits and a federal human trafficking investigation over the past year, was taken into custody at approximately 8:15 p.m., according to sources familiar with the case. His arrest is tied to an indictment that is expected to be unsealed Tuesday morning. The charges against Combs remain undisclosed at this time, but Damian Williams, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, confirmed that the arrest was executed based on the indictment. Combs’ attorney, speaking to CNN, acknowledged the arrest and stated that his client will cooperate with the legal process. “We are confident that Mr. Combs will be fully vindicated of all allegations against him,” the attorney said. Combs, known for his immense influence in the music and entertainment industries, has maintained a high profile despite the mounting legal troubles. Over the past year, he has been the subject of a federal investigation into alleged human trafficking activities, as well as multiple civil lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct. The specifics of these cases have not been fully disclosed, but they have attracted widespread media attention and sparked public debate about the mogul’s past. It remains unclear whether these previous allegations are connected to the current charges. Combs was reportedly in New York since last week, ahead of his arrest. His legal team has yet to release a comprehensive statement on the details of the indictment, which will be revealed in court proceedings expected to take place on Tuesday.
