A lawyer for Sean "Diddy" Combs says he wants to quit the defense team in the hip-hop mogul's sex trafficking case.

Spanish police have smashed a human trafficking ring that lured more than 1,000 women to the country over the past year with false job offers before forcing them into sex work, police said on Sunday.

Sean "Diddy" Combs' lawyer, Anthony Ricco, requested to be removed from his human trafficking case on Friday. Combs' sex-trafficking trial will begin on May 5.
