FIFA has issued a life ban to the president of the Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF), Marco Polo Del Nero.
The ban, which covers all football-related activities at both national and international level, takes immediate effect.
"The decision was notified to Mr Del Nero today, and the ban came into force immediately upon notification," said a FIFA statement released on Friday.
Del Nero has been fined one million Swiss francs (£734,344) as part of the ruling.
CBF vice-president Antonio Carlos Nunes de Lima will take over from Del Nero following the executive's life ban.
