Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) agents raided mansions in Los Angeles and Miami associated with rap mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs and his production company, as part of a federal investigation apparently linked to human trafficking, according to North American media.
Aerial shots from local media captured the enormous deployment of federal forces at the sumptuous property shortly after noon, with official patrol cars and trucks contrasting with the luxury vehicles parked at the mansion.
For its part, the HSI stated in a statement that its New York office “conducted law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with the assistance of the Los Angeles and Miami HSIs, as well as local law enforcement partners.” He added that additional information will be provided as it becomes available.
