Diddy has been held in custody ever since as Agnifilo and his team of lawyers fight to get him out. But, two judges denied Diddy’s requests for bail, siding with federal prosecutors who say the Bad Boy Entertainment CEO tampered with witnesses in the case while posing a danger to the community.
As for Brooklyn’s MDC … it’s considered a notorious jail with prisoners living in sickening conditions. At the last bail hearing, Agnifilo asked the court to transfer Diddy to the Essex County Correctional Facility in Newark, New Jersey. The matter is currently under review.
