FIFA has extended worldwide bans issued to a number of individuals in relation to match-fixing and illegal betting in Italy.
The Italian Football Federation (FIGC) and Olympic committee had already ordered suspensions of up to five years at a national level.
Following investigations in Catanzaro and Catania, FIFA has confirmed that "several officials and players have been banned from taking part in any kind of football-related activities", with bans ranging from one to five years.
"In some cases, individuals have received permanent bans from holding any kind of position within the Italian Football Association," a statement released on Tuesday also said.
In June last year, former Catania president Antonino Pulvirenti admitted to attempting to fix five Serie B matches in order to prevent the club's relegation.
