However, the investigation into, among other things, Combs’ cell phone data was still ongoing, the public prosecutor’s office said. This could lead to further charges and as a result the start of the trial could be postponed.
The rapper’s defense had already announced before the hearing that they would ask for the trial to start this spring. Additionally, efforts are continuing to have Combs released on parole and bail. This has already been rejected several times.

Combs appeared at the hearing before Judge Arun Subramanian wearing brown prison clothes. According to US media reports, his mother and children were also in the room.
The musician, who was one of the most successful rappers in the world in recent decades with hits like “I’ll Be Missing You” and “Bad Boy For Life,” has been in custody for several weeks. The rapper is accused of sex trafficking, organized crime and other crimes. There are already several civil lawsuits alleging sexual abuse. Combs denies the allegations.
