Excited states in {sup 124}Xe have been studied via the {sup 12}C({sup 124}Xe,{sup 124}Xe*) Coulomb excitation reaction. Relative cross-sections have been determined from the {gamma}-ray yields observed with Gammasphere. The E2 strengths between the low-spin states in {sup 124}Xe have been determined. The results clearly show the realization of the O(5) symmetry even for the off-yrast states with high {tau}, while the O(6) symmetry seems to be already broken.
