Prince’s concert producer arrested in Geneva

Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) - The producer of performer Prince’s two cancelled concerts in Geneva earlier in 2010, Daniel Quarcoopome, has been arrested at a Geneva five-star hotel, city police have confirmed, following local media reports.

The ticket sales group Resaplus had pressed charges against him after the cancellations. An investigation into the affair will now try to determine if fraud is involved.

TSR reports that the ticket agency had advanced CHF700,000 to the producer to organize the concert and part of the rationale behind the court case is to get the money back in order to reimburse ticket-holders.
