Attorneys for Sean “Diddy” Combs are accusing prosecutors of leveraging private legal writings seized from his jail cell to keep him behind bars until his May trial.
Attorney Marc Agnifilo accused the feds of “outrageous government conduct” in new documents filed in Manhattan federal court.
Combs’ defense team alleges that authorities previously raided his jail cell and confiscated documents that were legally privileged and should not have fallen into the hands of the prosecutors, according to the court docs.
Then, according to Agnifilo, they used the documents to ensure that the music mogul was not granted bond.
“This is a matter of grave concern that, most respectfully, must be addressed immediately,” Agnifilo told Judge Arun Subramanian, who had previously scheduled a bond hearing for Friday.
Agnifilo has requested an “immediate hearing” for prosecutors to explain who initially authorized the search of Combs’ cell, and allowed them to seize his paperwork and personal effects.
Diddy, 55, is currently facing decades behind bars.
Federal agents raided his Los Angeles and Miami homes in March, seizing hundreds of sex videos and a mountain of sex paraphernalia — including 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lube. In a statement, the US Attorney’s Office alleged that the sex parties were not always consensual.
Authorities charged Combs with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution.
In addition to the charges, he faces a myriad of civil suits from his alleged victims — including two from men who allege that they were minors — just 10 and 17 — when they were horrifically raped by the music mogul.
Combs has repeatedly denied wrongdoing. He has pleaded not guilty and insists that any sexual contact has been consensual.
He is requesting to be released to house arrest via a $50 million bond package.
Neither prosecutors or Diddy’s attorneys returned the Post’s requests for comment.
