Brazilian police investigating Olympic ticket scalping raided Ireland's office at the athletes' village Sunday as delegation members had their passports seized on the final day of the Rio Games. The expansion of the investigation came as IOC executive Patrick Hickey, the Olympic Council of Ireland president, remained in jail following his arrest on Wednesday. "Early this morning in Rio, Brazilian police arrived at the OCI offices in the Olympic Village and at OCI accommodation outside of the village," the OCI said. Unused official tickets were also taken from the Irish office in the Olympic Village, which the OCI said were for athletes' families and friends. 'International scheme'"We are continuing the investigation into the international scheme of ticket scalping," Rio police said.
