Light fittings, lamps, mirrors, even toilet seats were taken – despite tight security measures that include metal detectors and armed guards at entrances and exits, the report said. Construction teams were reported to be ‘working around the clock’ to make the village functional before today’s official opening.

Globo said many of the 3,604 flats still did not have functional water, gas or electricity supplies. An insider said: ‘The systems were only tested at the last minute and found to be defective.’
