On Saturday (Aug. 6) morning, Rio court denied a habeas corpus relief for Moroccan boxer Hassan Saada taken to jail on Thursday (4) under charges of sexual harassment against two cleaning ladies at the Olympic Village. According to the rule sentenced by Rio de Janeiro Court, there was no legal justification for granting a habeas corpus relief for Saada.

In another court rule sentenced this Friday (5), Irish Kevin James Marlen was temporarily arrested under charges of irregularly selling tickets for the Olympic Games opening ceremony at the Maracanã stadium.

The Irish man was arrested in flagrante delicto at Next Flat hotel, where he was with several tickets. At the hotel, there were several people who confirmed in testimony that they were there to buy tickets from the Irish man. The tickets were being sold at a higher price. The judge granted a search for new evidence in the Irish man's belongings and ordered the seizure of his passport.
