World Cup tickets: Ray Whelan and 11 others indicted

Police in Brazil have formally accused 12 people, including the director of a World Cup hospitality company, over alleged illegal ticket sales.
Ray Whelan, who works for Fifa partner company Match Hospitality, was held in Rio de Janeiro on Monday and released after questioning.


Mr Whelan - who denies any wrongdoing - has now surrendered his passport. An international gang is said to have earned some $90m (£52m) per tournament and may have acted at four World Cups.
The gang is believed to have been making money by acquiring and illegally selling on VIP tickets and hospitality passes.
