THG Sports has released a statement indicating that its director Kevin Mallon, the Irish man arrested for alleged ticket touting, is due to be released on bail.
He's been held in maximum security Bangu Prison since the 5th of August.
Reports suggest that he could be released later today following a Brazilian Supreme Court ruling.
In its statement, THG welcomes his release and the public enquiry and says it believes all of its executives will be vindicated.
