The proposed bail package included:

  • His Miami mansion as collateral
  • GPS monitoring
  • Limited travel between Miami and New York
  • $50 million in secured funds

Combs faces serious federal charges, including:

  • Racketeering
  • Sex trafficking
  • Coercion
  • Intimidation
  • Transport of individuals across state lines for illicit purposes

The music mogul has pleaded not guilty to all charges. However, prosecutors successfully argued that his release could pose significant risks to witnesses involved in the case. Court documents reveal allegations of systematic abuse and exploitation, detailing a pattern of violent behavior and intimidation tactics.

The judge's decision emphasizes the gravity of the allegations and the prosecution's concerns about witness safety. Combs will remain in custody as he awaits trial.
