UK REPORTER HELD OVER WORLD CUP DRESSING ROOM INTRUSION
Baku, June 29 (AZERTAC). A British journalist is being held over the England World Cup dressing room intrusion, South African police say, according to BBC.
National police commissioner Bheki Cele said the Sunday Mirror`s Simon Wright had been arrested.
The Sunday Mirror confirmed Mr Wright had been arrested but said any suggestion by police that the trespass was orchestrated was "entirely false".
Pavlos Joseph, 32, from London, is accused of entering England`s dressing room after the Algeria match.
His case has been adjourned until 30 June.
Mortgage adviser Mr Joseph was discovered in the England team`s dressing room in Cape Town`s Green Point stadium on 18 June.
