The arrest is part of the corruption investigation, known as Operation Unfair Play.

Mr. Nuzman has previously denied all wrongdoing.

Leonardo Gryner, the committee’s director general, was also arrested, according to Brazilian media.

The inquiry is being conducted in conjunction with French and US police.
