Sean Combs Photo by nytimes.comMusic Mogul Accused of Obstruction from JailSean Combs, known as Diddy, is facing allegations of obstruction in his federal racketeering and se$ trafficking case. Prosecutors claim that from his Brooklyn jail cell, he attempted to bypass monitoring by organizing three-way phone calls and using other inmates’ phone accounts. Combs has been detained since September at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, in a unit for high-profile inmates. A previous judge denied bail, citing witness tampering risks, but a new judge is now reviewing his case. Combs’s lawyers argue that contacting witnesses for his defense does not constitute obstruction.
