Embattled hip-hop mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has been arrested in New York City on unspecified federal charges, federal authorities told the BBC’s US partner CBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrest in Manhattan follows raids on two of his properties in Los Angeles and Miami in March as part of an “ongoing investigation” into sex trafficking by authorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr <\/a>Combs’s attorney, Marc Agnifilo, said they were “disappointed” by the arrest and his client was an “innocent man”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The musician has faced a series of allegations from sexual assault to abuse, including by his ex-partner Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. He has denied all the claims against him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His arrest was made in connection with an ongoing investigation by US homeland security officials, multiple law enforcement sources told CBS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

US Attorney for the Southern District of New York Damian Williams confirmed the arrest in a statement on Monday night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Earlier this evening, federal agents arrested Sean Combs, based on a sealed indictment filed by the SDNY,” the prosecutor said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the office plans to unseal the indictment on Tuesday morning and we “will have more to say at that time”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combs faces a number of civil lawsuits, including allegations that he raped an underage girl and tried to “groom” a producer and force him to have sex with another man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His attorney said on Monday night that Mr Combs was looking forward to “clearing his name in court”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are disappointed with the decision to pursue what we believe is an unjust prosecution,” Mr Agnifilo said in a written statement to the BBC. [BBC news]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
