In the new indictment, the musician and producer is accused of forcing employees to work long hours and demanding that they remain silent about cases of abuse.
Combs is currently in custody. He was arrested in September as part of a criminal investigation. The public prosecutor's office accuses the 55-year-old of sexually abusing women and using threats and violence to coerce them into attending drug and sex parties.
According to the indictment, the long-time influential rap mogul is said to have used his "empire" in the music business to achieve his goals. Combs denies all allegations and has pleaded not guilty; his trial is scheduled to begin on May 5.
