Irish Olympic officials have confirmed the names of executive committee members who have had their passports seized in Rio de Janeiro in connection with a ticket fraud investigation. A previous statement said police also seized the officials' phones and laptops. "We are continuing the investigation into the international scheme of ticket scalping," Rio police said Sunday after a raid on Ireland's office at the athletes' village. The OCI issued a statement on Monday, after its executive committee met for the first in person since the Rio Games began. "The committee discussed recent events in Rio regarding ticketing arrangements at the Games, which it takes very seriously," it said.
