LAUSANNE, Switzerland (AP) — The IOC says it will cooperate with Brazilian authorities in the ticket scalping investigation targeting one of its executive board members.
Patrick Hickey, president of Ireland's national Olympic committee, was among 10 people charged by Brazilian prosecutors on Tuesday with ticket scalping, conspiracy and ambush marketing in the case that broke during last month's Rio de Janeiro Games.
Police investigator Aloysio Falcao says authorities want to speak with IOC President Thomas Bach about email exchanges between him and Hickey related to ticket allocations.
However, Bach canceled plans to attend Wednesday's opening of the Paralympics in Rio.
