Carmine Raiola is suspended for a period of three months and Vincenzo Raiola for a period of two months,” FIFA said.

“The decision of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee was notified today and takes immediate effect.

Raiola, one of the world’s most high-profile and influential agents, claimed via Twitter on Thursday that the FIGC’s sanction was “a sentence dominated by political willing, without taking into the right consideration of law.”

He added that it was “a sentence based on false grounds and lies,” Raiola was quoted

Raola’s clients include Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Gianluigi Buffon and Martin De Light of Ajax among other player’s.
