A court press spokeswoman said: Ray Whelan, the fugitive chief executive of a Swiss hospitality company implicates in an investigation into the illegal resale of VIP World Cup tickets surrendered himself to a Rio de Janeiro court on Monday.
Whelan gave himself up to state Justice Tribunal in downtown Rio and will be picked up by police shortly, the court said. Rio state prosecutors have accused 12 people of engaging in criminal organisation, bribery, money-laundering and tax evasion in connection with a World Cup ticket "scalping ring". Scalping or reselling tickets for profit, is illegal in Brazil.
