Can we find her?’ the person asked.\n\n‘I’ll send him the Brazilian,’ was the reply.\n\nAnother wiretap conversation revealed that one woman told a person working for the company that she was pregnant after spending an evening with a ‘well-known footballer’.\n\n##  Get personalised football updates every day\n\nSign up to our daily football newsletter and choose your team to get the latest news, rumours and more about your favourite team.\n\nThe owners of the events company, a man and a woman, and two of their employees, have been placed under house arrest.
