Ryan Lochte summoned to testify before Brazil's justice deparment
  • 8 years ago
Ryan Lochte will be summoned to testify in front of Brazil's Justice Department in Rio over his claims he and other U.S. Olympic swimmers were robbed at gunpoint. Lochte has since apologized for embellishing his version of events. He cannot testify in the U.S. and would have to appear in person in court in Brazil or be tried in absence. There is no penalty for him not appearing in front of the Justice Department, but if he doesn't appear he won't be able to engage in a plea deal.
