Diddy Renews Bail Request, Agrees to Sell Private Plane Amid Legal Troubles

Diddy has been behind bars since for several weeks. The mogul has been held at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn since he was charged with racketeering and trafficking. According to TMZ, however, Diddy is still trying to make bail. The outlet reported that the Bad Boy founder issued another appeal to be released from MDC Brooklyn on bond. His legal team has filed documents appealing the most recent denial, claiming that he is not at risk for fleeing the country.

Diddy’s legal team previously offered a whopping $50 million bond, but it was denied at the urging of the prosecutors. The legal team, led by lawyer Marc Agnifilo, feel that the sizable bond amount ensures that Diddy will not be a flight risk. They also noted that the mogul has not had any female visitors besides the occasional family member. TMZ also reported that Diddy promised not contact grand jury members, and continue to look for a buyer for his private plane. To further sell the prosecution and the judge, Diddy said that he would agree to be subjected to drug tests on a weekly basis.

Both of Diddy’s previous attempts at posting bond have been denied outright. U.S. Magistrate Judge Robyn Tarnofsky denied Diddy’s initial attempt to make bond on the grounds of his alleged actions. “I don’t believe that counsel has the ability to control you,” the Magistrate ruled. “Given the very significant concerns I have, particularly because of substance abuse and what seem like anger issues.” The second attempt to post bail was denied by U.S. District Judge Andrew L. Carter. Diddy and his legal team tried to present a different array of guarantees, including GPS monitoring and visitor limitations. Unfortunately for them, the outcome was the same.

Carter determined that the offers made were “insufficient,” and ruled that Diddy must stay behind bars in order to ensure the integrity of the upcoming case. Marc Agnifilo has been the most vocal member of the Bad Boy founder’s legal team. After the second appeal was denied, he told reporters that he would not rest until Diddy was freed. “I’m not going to let him sit in that jail a day longer than he has to,” Agnifilo asserted. We will have to wait and see if Diddy’s third attempt at making bond proves successful.
