Rio police reveal Pat Hickey and Marcus Evans emails surrounding ticket scandal

Police in Rio have claimed that they have access to emails between Pat Hickey and Marcus Evans of the THG Group relating to the sale of tickets for the 2016 Rio Olympics.

This is despite a ban on THG handling tickets for the Rio Games put in place by the Rio authorities.

At a press conference last night, officers told the media that weekly emails between Mr Evans and Mr Hickey, who recently “temporarily” stepped aside as OCI president date back to 2010, when THG won the rights to handle the tickets.
