Diddy's RICO Indictment Response Draws Strong Federal Rebuttal
In response to Diddy's claims of racial bias in his RICO indictment, federal prosecutors have delivered a sharp rebuttal, dismissing the Hip-Hop mogul's allegations as "outrageous and illogical."
Diddy, facing charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking, recently filed a motion alleging that he was targeted due to his race, specifically contesting Count Three under the Mann Act.
Acting U.S. District Attorney Matthew Podolsky refuted these claims, emphasizing that the charges stemmed solely from Diddy's alleged criminal conduct, including violence and exploitation of victims for commercial sex.
Podolsky's response directly addressed the severity of the allegations, highlighting the distinct nature of Diddy's case compared to examples cited by his defense team, such as Eliot Spitzer and Jerry Falwell Jr.
The government's firm stance reiterated that Diddy's actions, involving coercion and force in transporting victims for commercial sex, set his case apart and invalidated his claims of discrimination.
Ultimately, the scathing rebuttal concluded that Diddy's motion lacked factual support and should be denied.
