Nuzman, the President of the Brazilian Olympic Committee (COB) and the head of the Rio de Janeiro Organizing Committee for the 2016 Olympic Games, was suspected of being an intermediary in the purchase of votes between the state government (former governor Sérgio Cabral) and members of the International Olympic Committee (IOC), precisely the Senegalese Lamine Diack, to choose Rio as the host city of the 2016 Olympic Games.
The “BBC” learned that Nuzman was a mediator in an alleged two million dollars payment to Papa Massata Diack, the son of Lamine Diack. He was arrested in an operation that is called the “Operation Unfair Play” which was conducted by the Brazilian police who had the help of the French and US police. Leonardo Gryner, the Rio de Janeiro Organizing Committee director general, was also arrested in the same operation.
Nuzman as player
Nuzman competed professionally from 1957 to 1972 and represented the Brazilian NT between 1962 and 1968. He was part of the first Brazilian male volleyball NT at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics when the sport debuted at the Summer Olympic Games.
