Anthony Ricco, a lawyer for Sean “Diddy” Combs,’ removed himself from Combs’ legal team.
In a motion for withdrawal of counsel filed in New York on Thursday, Ricco said “under no circumstances can I continue to effectively serve as counsel for Sean Combs.”
The notice added that discussions had been had with lead counsel Marc Agnifilo and Ricco before the motion was filed.
Combs, 55, remains locked up at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center in New York. He is awaiting trial on for sex trafficking and racketeering charges.
