Hickey sought Rio reprieve for ticket firm THG
Pat Hickey wrote to senior International Olympic Committee (IOC) officials proposing that alleged ticket tout agency THG become a "sub agent" for the Rio 2016 Games after the local organising committee resisted its appointment.
In emails released by Rio de Janeiro police, Mr Hickey set out a "strategy" that the Olympic Council of Ireland (OCI) be its own ticket reseller for Rio 2016.
