Rio city council commission formed to probe Olympic projects (Yahoo Sports)
Rio de Janeiro’s city council has set up a commission to investigate whether the city’s Olympic projects were tarnished by corruption. The five-member commission is expected to request contracts and other documents related to the stadiums, highways and other projects built for the Aug. 5-21 games. The councilman behind the commission said it grew out of the sprawling corruption probe at the Petrobras oil company.
