High-profile attorney Anthony Ricco has stepped down from defending embattled American music mogul Sean Diddy Combs ahead of his upcoming sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
Diddy, who is currently facing over 30 civil lawsuits, is awaiting a federal criminal trial scheduled for May 5, 2025.
In a motion filed before the New York Federal Court on Thursday, Ricco formally announced his withdrawal from the case but declined to disclose specific reasons, citing attorney-client privilege.
The legal document stated that Ricco had notified the judge of his decision, emphasizing that there were sufficient reasons protected by lawyer-client privilege.
In his relief motion, which still requires judicial approval, Ricco made it clear that he could no longer represent Diddy, stating:
”Under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs.”
Ricco is a renowned defense attorney, notably recognized for his role in cases related to Osama bin Laden and other high-profile criminal defenses.
Diddy’s legal troubles continue to mount as he prepares for what could be one of the most highly publicized trials in recent years.
