Federal agents on Monday raided properties owned by hip hop music mogul Sean Combs in Los Angeles and Miami, NBC News reported, citing sources.
The Department of Homeland Security agents were authorized to search the properties by warrants issued in Manhattan federal court, law enforcement sources said.
A source familiar with the situation told NBC that three women and one man have been interviewed in New York by federal authorities in connection to a probe involving possible sex trafficking, sexual assault, the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms related to Combs, who is also known as “Diddy.”
Interviews with three more women, identified as “Jane Does,” are scheduled.
“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,” Homeland Security said in a statement to NBC 4 Los Angeles.
Combs’ lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, did not immediately respond to a request for comment from CNBC.
