Africa-Press – Zimbabwe. <\/strong><\/span>Diddy is currently behind bars for charges related to alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. Recently, however, he was hit with even more allegations. Prosecutors accused the Bad Boy founder of using other inmates\u2019 phone accounts to make unmonitored calls in a court filing. Allegedly, he evaded federal regulations by doing so. Now, according to an exclusive report by AllHipHop, he\u2019s admitted to this.<\/p>\n

In a filing yesterday (November 21), the mogul\u2019s team framed his use of other inmates\u2019 phone accounts as insignificant. They insist this is something many other inmates take part in. \u201cThe use of other inmates\u2019 PAC numbers is also a widespread practice at the MDC and not obstruction,\u201d Alexandra A.E. Shapiro, Diddy\u2019s lawyer, wrote. \u201cInmates routinely share their calling minutes with other inmates, and they are limited to 15 minutes per call and one call per hour. The government has presented no evidence suggesting anything Mr. Combs says using other numbers is any different from what he says while using his individual PAC number.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shapiro continued, arguing that the conditions at the MDC could have impacted Diddy\u2019s decision to bend the rules. She alleged that it was a last resort in order to prepare for trial. \u201cIf anything, that Mr. Combs needs to resort to sharing minutes demonstrates that the conditions at MDC do not permit an adequate defense preparation. Although this is technically not permitted by BOP policy, the BOP effectively sanctions the practice, and all calls are monitored,\u201d she explained.<\/p>\n

Diddy\u2019s trial is currently scheduled for May of 2025. Later today, he\u2019s set to attend a hearing about his fifth attempt to secure bond. He\u2019s already pleaded not guilty to his charges, but if found guilty, could reportedly face up to a life sentence.<\/p>\n
