Rio court to return passports to Irish Olympic officials

Rio De Janeiro, Aug 27 (Reuters) A Rio de Janeiro court will return the passports of three members of the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) and they will be allowed to leave Brazil, a source in the Rio state security services said.
The passports were seized by Brazilian police, along with computers, mobile phones and unused tickets as part of an investigation into allegations of an illegal Olympics ticketing scam.
OCI Treasurer Kevin Kilty, Secretary-General Dermot Henihan and Executive Director Stephen Martin have collaborated with the police in the investigation and would be able to return to Ireland, said the source, who asked not to be named because he is not authorized to speak publicly on the matter.
