Kevin Mallon has spent the last week in prison after he was allegedly found with hundreds of Olympic tickets earmarked for team Ireland.

Police have accused the 36-year-old, who works for THG Sports, of trying to sell the tickets for more than their face value.

Yesterday they issued arrest warrants for 4 other executives at the British hospitality firm – including a second Irish man, 35-year-old David Patrick Gilmore.
