Video reveals the chaotic aftermath of Department of Homeland Security raids on Sean “Diddy” Combs’ properties in Miami and Los Angeles on Monday.
video images of TMZ shows federal agents ransacking the veteran rapper’s $40 million Holmby Hills mansion. There were clothes, shoes and furniture strewn about, safes broken and documents scattered.
In the video, fragments of Combs’ electronic equipment are scattered on the ground. The outlet mentioned that Homeland Security confiscated their hard drives during the raid.
Footage of the aftermath of the raid on Diddy’s home reached X (formerly Twitter).
Shortly after agents raided his homes on Monday, Diddy was caught on camera walking outside Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport. Diddy was supposedly at the airport to take his twin teenage daughters to the Bahamas for spring break.
Diddy’s lawyer called the raids a “witch hunt”
Meanwhile, in a statement Tuesday, Combs’ attorney, Aaron Dyer, called the search warrants a “witch hunt.”
“Yesterday there was a serious excessive use of force on a military level when search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences,” Dyer said. “There is no excuse for the excessive display of force and hostility exhibited by the authorities or the way in which his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never arrested, but he spoke and cooperated with authorities.”
“Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested. “His ability to travel has also not been restricted in any way,” Dyer noted.
“This unprecedented ambush, combined with an advanced and coordinated media presence, is leading to a premature rush to judge Mr. Combs. [It] “It is nothing more than a witch hunt based on baseless accusations made in civil trials.”
“No criminal or civil liability has been found with any of these allegations,” Dyer continued. “Mr. Combs is innocent and he will continue to fight every day to clear his name.”
Earlier on Tuesday, police sources reported. ABC News that federal Homeland Security Investigations agents seized several electronic devices during court-approved searches at Combs’ two properties.
According to sources, the searches conducted in Los Angeles and Miami were related to a federal sex trafficking investigation involving the hip-hop and liquor mogul. To date, no criminal charges have been filed as a result of the investigation.
Four women have also filed civil lawsuits against Combs, accusing him of rape, sex trafficking and other abuse. Diddy has refuted all the allegations.
