Law enforcement apprehended Combs during the night of September 16 at a New York location.
A New York grand jury with power to indict convicted him of trafficking people for s3x along with forcing their labor and operating an illegal enterprise.
The prosecution suggested Bad Boy Records operated as an unlawful business managed by Combs.
