Homeland Security officials said the raids are part of an ongoing investigation with law enforcement in New York, Miami and Los Angeles.
Teams of federal agents, including Homeland Security Investigative officials, were seen conducting coordinated raids at two homes associated with rapper Sean „Diddy“ Combs on Monday.
When asked to confirm the surprise searches, authorities said that 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.“
In a brief statement they added: „We will provide further information as it becomes available.“
HSI officials did not respond to requests from NPR to clarify if Combs was the target of the raids.
The Los Angeles mansion connected to Combs is in the Holmby Hills neighborhood and is not owned by the music mogul, but it has been connected to Combs‘ company, Bad Boys Film Production, according to KTLA in Los Angeles.
