Sean “Diddy” Combs remains in federal custody after his lawyers fail to appeal the bail denial decision. Judge Andrew Carter rules there’s no way to reduce the risk of witness tampering or obstruction.

Sean, facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution, pleads not guilty and risks life imprisonment if convicted. Prosecutors allege Combs created and ran a “criminal enterprise” through his business empire, engaging in crimes like sex trafficking, forced labor, and kidnapping ¹ ².

The judge cites Diddy’s’ alleged attempts to tamper with witnesses and access to millions of dollars, making him a flight risk. Combs is held in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, awaiting trial ¹.
