The Olympic Council of Ireland and the FAI are both remaining tight-lipped this lunchtime, after their respective heads were the subject of passport seizure orders in Brazil.
The OCI's acting president William O'Brien, and the FAI chief executive John Delaney - who is a vice-president of the OCI - are among six people named in a warrant approved by a local judge.
The others are OCI officials Linda O’Reilly, Dermot Henihan, Kevin Kilty and Stephen Martin.
Neither O'Brien or Delaney are in Brazil at the moment, with O'Brien having returned in time for an emergency meeting of the OCI's Executive Board last night.
Delaney, meanwhile, did not travel to Brazil for the Games, and remained in Ireland to attend Dundalk's Champions League qualifier against Legia Warsaw last Wednesday.
Requests for comment from the FAI, including whether Delaney planned to travel to the away leg in Poland tomorrow night, met with no response.
Three of the other OCI officials subject to the warrant - Henihan, Kilty and Martin - remain in Brazil and were expected to attend a police station for questioning today.
Approving the request from Brazilian prosecutors, a local judge said the six OCI officials had been named by former president Pat Hickey in police testimony.
It is understood that Brazilian prosecutors believe the OCI's executive acted as a collective unit in identifying THG Group as its preferred ticketing partners for the games.
This was despite THG being barred from work on the Rio Games, as a result of a previous claim of ticket touting in the course of the 2014 FIFA World Cup which was also held in Brazil.
Crisis committee set up
Last night's OCI meeting resulted in a three-person 'crisis management' sub-committee being appointed to deal with the fallout from the ongoing ticketing scandal, which will see Hickey attend court in Rio tomorrow.
It also resulted in the recruitment of a Brazilian legal team to represent the OCI's interests in Brazil as the proceedings continue.
A former chief executive of the FAI has meanwhile said the public knows the OCI, as a whole, is not corrupt.
Bernard O'Byrne says there is a clear distinction between the actions of the council as a whole, and of some people involved in it.
