RIO DE JANEIRO—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. No further arrests were made Sunday but the Irish said additional members of its delegation have been “asked to present for questioning at a local police station on Tuesday. They agreed to do so.”The OCI’s Dublin-based public relations agency said about three Irish personnel had passports, phones and laptops seized. “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.
