| Subject: Absurd: 11 anti-free trade arrests this week over ticket scalping Sat Jul 05, 2014 2:55 am | |
| The son of FIFA senior vice president Julio Grondona has denied claims he illegally sold a World Cup ticket for profit.
Brazilian police are investigating a ticket scalping operation and have made 11 arrests this week.
Humberto Grondona went on Argentine TV channel TyC to deny speculation he had re-sold a ticket at an inflated price, saying he gave a friend the $220 ticket for the Argentina-Switzerland match last Tuesday.
"You think with how much I care about my family name I would do such a stupid thing?" Grondona said in a telephone interview broadcast late on Thursday.
A photograph of the ticket issued to "Humberto Mario Grondona" was posted on the Twitter site of journalist Andres Burgo.
