It’s all over a federal investigation into human trafficking being led by prosecutors out of the Southern District of New York.
“Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners,” a U.S. Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told News 6 partners WPLG via email. “We will provide further information as it becomes available.”
Video from the station’s helicopter showed Homeland Security Investigations agents at the scene Monday afternoon.
Sources say while the investigation has been ongoing for several months, an arrest isn’t believed to be imminent.
Diddy, whose real name is Sean Combs, has previously been accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault in lawsuits filed by multiple women. A man also filed suit in February, accusing Combs of sexually assaulting him and forcing him to have sex with prostitutes.
Combs has denied any wrongdoing.
