Spurs accused of spying on Olympic officials
Tottenham have been accused of spying on London Olympic officials in the latest twist to the saga surrounding the main stadium for next year’s Games.
A 29-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of fraud after Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC) chairwoman Baroness Ford said the north London football club had private investigators tail all 14 members of her board.
With the future of the STG500 ($A780m) showpiece venue up in the air following the collapse of the West Ham deal, the suspect was questioned on Tuesday as officers conducted searches in London, including Westminster, and southern England.
Baroness Ford is in charge of the OPLC – the body formed to secure the Olympic Park’s legacy.
‘The thing that I have learned in the last 12 months is that there has been all kinds of behaviour,’ she told the London Assembly.
‘There has been legal challenges and people have stood behind it anonymously – all kinds of things have happened.
