The Irishman, 71, was taken to hospital following his arrest, after requesting medical attention. Brazilian police claim he was involved in a scheme to resell Olympic tickets at higher than their face value. They said the scheme could have had profits of 10m reals (£2.4m; $3.1m) and the suspect, who also heads the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI), had tried to escape when they came for him.
