Article 27 of Fifa's code of ethics states that referees found to have placed bets could face a fine of 100,000 Swiss francs (£94,246) and a ban from football of up to three years
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) has suspended 149 referees and assistant referees after an investigation found hundreds of professional match officials in the country had betting accounts.
Bans ranging from eight to 12 months, based on the "severity of the act", have been imposed for involvement in betting activity, with investigations into three other officials still ongoing.
The full list of the penalised officials was published on the TFF website.
On Monday, it was revealed a five-year probe had found 371 of 571 match officials have betting accounts, with 152 of those actively gambling.
