A man has been arrested
over claims that London 2012 executives were put under surveillance by a
potential tenant of the Olympic Stadium.
Tottenham Hotspur FC monitored all 14 board members of the
Olympic Park Legacy Company (OPLC), according to the OPLC's Chair,
Baroness Ford.
The Premier League club said it "totally rejects the accusation in the strongest possible terms". A 29-year-old man was detained in Sussex in connection with the claims.
The Chair of London Assembly's Economy, Culture and Sport Committee, Dee
Doocey, said the suggestion that board members had been spied on was
"reprehensible" and "absolutely disgraceful".
Scotland Yard said officers had searched homes in Sutton, south London, and in Sussex, as part of their investigation.
West Ham and the OPLC "have made allegations to the
Metropolitan Police in respect of the unlawful obtaining of personal
information", a spokeswoman added.
