Brazil police raid home of Olympic committee chief
|
[Al Jazeera] [Al Jazeera] Brazilian police have searched the home of Carlos Arthur Nuzman, head of the country's Olympic committee, as part of a corruption probe into the 2016 Rio Games.
At least 70 officers - in liaison with French officials - on Tuesday also served two arrest warrants and conducted search and seizure operations in 11 sites across Rio, in an investigation into a suspected international vote-buying scheme to secure Rio de Janeiro's selection as the host of last year's Olympics.
Brazil's federal police and French officials, including well-known French anti-corruption judge, Renaud Van Ruymbeke, could be seen outside Nuzman's house in Rio's affluent seaside Leblon neighbourhood.
Nuzman himself was seen leaving by car as police exited his house carrying sacks of evidence.
In a statement, Brazilian police did not give names, but said they were probing "an international corruption scheme" aimed at "the buying of votes for the election of (Rio) by the International Olympic Committee as the venue for the 2016 Olympics."
