The Turkish Football Federation has banned 147 club officials, including former president Ertugrul Dogan of Trabzonspor, for 45 days due to betting violations. This decision came after an investigation into gambling in Turkish football, following a referral of 448 officials by the federation. The Professional Football Disciplinary Board imposed penalties on 147 individuals who violated betting rules, while the remaining 301 cases were cleared due to insufficient grounds for disciplinary action.
The federation has been strengthening its oversight of betting since a previous scandal rocked Turkish soccer.
