Sean Combs, better known as Diddy, sees it becoming more and more distant to be outside the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, in New York, where he entered a few months ago. Because this Wednesday, and For the third time, his request for bail has been denied after studying the appearance on his case that took place last Friday.
US District Court Judge Arun Subramanian has rejected the request of the rapper’s legal team, which was willing to pay bail of 50 million dollars, with an argument based on the well-being and harmony of the rest of the members of his community and that has been obtained by various media, such as CNN.
“The Court considers that The government has demonstrated with clear and convincing evidence that no condition or combination of conditions will reasonably ensure the safety of the community,” Subramanian wrote in his five-page court filing, according to CNN.
At last Friday’s hearing, prosecutors argued that Diddy poses too great a threat to victims —given his economic power and almost unlimited resources— if he is released from prison before his trial, which will be on May 5 and in which the 55-year-old magnate is accused of sex trafficking, organized crime and human trafficking. .
The prosecution detailed how the rapper was going to try to intimidate and extort some witnesses if he was released from prison. Basically because he was already trying to manipulate them from within through three-way calls in which he used his family as well as other prisoners. Subramanian’s order specifically references evidence that Combs has lied about using the ContactMeASAP service for inmates.
In fact, one of the keys to the two-hour hearing last Friday was that the mogul’s defense argued that Diddy had supposedly stopped using said service on November 16. However, the prosecutor’s data showed that It was active a week later.
In a last-ditch attempt to secure bail, Combs’ legal team proposed that a private security team available 24/7 would be better trained and equipped to surveil the mogul than the feds, proposing an apartment on Manhattan’s Upper East Side for that purpose. The proposal, as well as the proposal to return to his mansion in Miami, were immediately rejected.
