ROME, Aug 7 (Reuters) - Former Juventus general manager Luciano Moggi, banned from football for five years for his part in Italy's 2006 match-fixing scandal, has been given an extra 14-month suspension after a second investigation into the case.
The Italian football federation said in a statement that Moggi, who tried to procure favourable referees for Juve matches, had been sanctioned for running a secret network of communication using Swiss mobile phone SIM cards.
The former director of the recently-defunct Messina, Angelo Fabiani, has been banned from football for four years for his part in the scandal with a number of referees given varying suspensions for owning the SIM cards.
Some officials had already been punished in the original affair, which led to Juventus being demoted from the top-flight Serie A and having their 2005 and 2006 titles stripped.
Juventus accepted a 300,000 euro ($465,000) fine in June to settle charges linked to the SIM card probe.
Moggi is also at the centre of a criminal court case involving the match-fixing scandal, among other probes.
