Federal prosecutors in New York are urging a judge to sentence Sean "Diddy" Combs to more than 11 years in prison.

Following the hip-hop mogul's conviction on prostitution-related charges , they also want him to be fined $500,000 (£372,000), according to court filings.

Last week, defence lawyers urged a 14-month sentence . Due to time served, that would enable him to walk free almost immediately - following his arrest in September last year.

But he could, in theory, face up to 20 years in jail after being found guilty of two counts of transportation for engagement in prostitution. Each charge carries a maximum sentence of 10 years.

Judge Arun Subramanian, a US district judge, is due to sentence Combs in Manhattan on Friday.
