Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Federal Trial Begins This Monday, May 5. Meet the Rapper’s Lawyers: This Is P. Diddy’s Defense Team.
Sean “Diddy” Combs’ federal trial kicks off on May 5. After eight months of waiting at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, jury selection in the music mogul’s case will take place this Monday. P. Diddy was arrested on September 16 following a federal investigation, during which prosecutor Damian Williams charged him with three felonies: racketeering, sex trafficking, and transportation for prostitution.
If found guilty, the three-time Grammy winner could spend the rest of his life in prison. Racketeering carries a life sentence, sex trafficking carries a minimum of 15 years, and transportation for prostitution up to 10 years.

Leading Diddy’s legal team is Marc Antony Agnifilo of the law firm Agnifilo Intrater. Marc has over 30 years of experience as an attorney. He earned his law degree in 1990 from Brooklyn Law School and holds a bachelor’s degree in Philosophy and Political Science from Connecticut College (1986).
According to his website, his portfolio includes “complicated and serious criminal cases, investigations and financial regulatory matters in U.S. District Courts throughout the United States, in State Courts in New York and New Jersey, and in other countries.”
Some of Agnifilo’s more controversial cases include representing Keith Raniere, leader of the NXIVM sex cult, and Martin Shkreli, known as the “Pharma Bro,” among others. Interestingly, Marc is married to Karen Friedman-Agnifilo, the lead defense attorney for Luigi Mangione, who is accused of murdering United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson.
