Former Olympic Council of Ireland President Pat Hickey said that his legal team in Dublin "warned against the publication of Judge Carroll Moran's report into the Rio ticketing scandal last summer as it might prejudice his trial in Brazil," according to RTÉ. Sarah Keane, Hickey's successor as president of the OCI, last week "called for the non-statutory State inquiry report to be published." A draft version has been circulated to parties named in the report and it is believed the attorney general is "now deciding whether it can be published, or partly published." Hickey said that he did not read the report but that he had "been advised that its publication could affect his chances of a fair trial in Brazil." He said, "Even worse still, any media reports can also be used by the prosecutor in Brazil against me." Hickey also "sought to clarify" that he had not cost the OCI €1.5M ($1.7M), after Keane revealed last week that the organization had "spent that sum to date" on its report into the Rio scandal. Hickey: "My legal costs are around €280,000 ($317,355) and there is an insurance policy I put in place over 15 years ago" (RTÉ, 6/27).
