Prosecutors claimed they do not have access to Sean Diddy Combs‘ private notes meant for his attorneys after his legal team alleged they’d been taken from his jail cell in a raid.
A new court filing revealed feds discovered a folder marked “legal,” as well as an address book, a notebook and other personal items on the disgraced producer’s bed.
Prosecutors said that the legal folder was not taken or opened during the search, it was only handled from the outside to make sure there were no contraband items inside of it. Prison officials did take pictures of the pages in his address book and notebook, but then left both of them behind in his cell.
A U.S. attorney claimed the photos included “wide-ranging notes to himself, including notes related to [Diddy’s] business interests, his release of music, and family matters.” Prior to being turned over the prosecutors, the photos were sent to a “filter team” who redacted any thing they believed should remain private information.
As OK! previously reported, Combs’ attorney Marc Agnifilo claimed feds were “in possession of attorney-client privileged” paperwork after the jail raid in a report published on Monday, November 18. Agnifilo alleged the search violated his client’s Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Amendment rights.
As for the prosecutors, they said Combs has been attempting to “evade law enforcement monitoring, corruptly influenc[ing] witness testimony, and further attack[ing] the integrity of these proceedings” throughout his time behind bars.
