Diddy’s Lawyers Say They Have Proof Prosecutors Directed Raid on Jail Cell

Diddy’s lawyers filed new legal documents flat-out accusing Southern District of New York prosecutors of directing the November 2024 sweep of Diddy’s cell with the help of Bureau of Prison correctional officers inside Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center.

In the docs, Diddy’s lawyers point to a meeting between BOP officials and other federal agencies on the morning of the second day of the sweep to discuss a potential search of Diddy’s unit … and they say supervisors from SDNY, including the Diddy trial team’s unit chief, weighed in that a search of Diddy’s cell was warranted.

Defense lawyers claim the other agencies inquired with the SDNY unit chief on whether a search of Diddy’s cell was necessary.

Diddy’s attorneys say the SDNY chief ordered the cell to be searched “in part because of what the Prosecution Team had learned regarding [Mr. Combs’] conduct at MDC.”

You may recall … prosecutors previously said the search of MDC was planned by prison officials well in advance of his arrest and did not specifically target Diddy. Instead, they said, it was to ensure the safety and security of staff and inmates.
