According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the unidentified individual—described as a “YSL associate”—was named in a leaked court document that recently surfaced online. State prosecutors say the witness intended to testify against Young Thug and other YSL associates, who are currently facing a slew of of racketeering and gang-related charges.

“We found a lot of information concerning one of our witnesses on basically a (celebrity news) outlet,” Fulton County prosecutor Don Geary told Judge Ural Glanville, adding the leaked document jeopardized the witness’ safety.

Prosecutors asked the judge to restrict certain evidence until the 2023 trial.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis said attorneys were given the document in question during the discovery phase, and its information has since “appeared on public websites.”

“As a result [of the leak], the state now has grave concerns about the safety of that named witness and other potential witnesses in this trial,” said Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis.

An attorney for Gunna, who is listed as a co-defendant, pushed back on the prosecution’s claims that potential witnesses were being threatened.

“We want to know what specific threats there are,” attorney Kristen Novay said. “There have been many allegations that there are threats to witnesses, and to date we have received no discovery, not a single shred of evidence from a witness who was actually threatened.”

As attention continues to build surrounding the controversial YSL case, Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is reported to be alleging that a recent leak has resulted in threats being made against a witness.

Per a report from local Atlanta-focused outlet WSB-TV, the D.A.’s office claims it has been made aware of “a document and part of a cooperating witness’ statement” having been leaked and shared to social media. As for the witness in question, the individual is described in the report as a “cooperating YSL associate” whose family is also claimed to now be at risk in connection with the alleged threats.

Quoted in the report is attorney Brian Steel, who represents Young Thug. Speaking on the ramifications of such leaks, Steel said those responsible are “not doing anybody a favor” by sharing such information. In fact, Steel is quoted as saying, “it is totally inappropriate to try this case in social media.”
