Phone records of Irish Man arrested in Rio used by police
Brazilian authorities have used the phone records of an Irish man arrested in Rio to clamp down on the ticket scandal.
Kevin Mallon has spent more than a week in prison after he was allegedly found with hundreds of Olympic tickets earmarked for Team Ireland.
Police have accused the 36-year-old, who works for THG Sports, of trying to sell the tickets for more than their face value.
Yesterday they issued arrest warrants for 4 of his colleagues at the British hospitality firm.
They include a second Irish man and the head of THG, Marcus Evans, who also owns Ipswich Town Football Club in the UK.
Journalist Fearghal O’Connor says THG was not a licensed retailer for Irish tickets:
