The owner of Greek Superleague club PAOK has been given a three-year stadium ban and fined €100,000 after carrying a gun onto the pitch during a match with AEK Athens. PAOK have also been docked three points and will start next season with a two-point deduction, the Superleague has announced. FIFA's monitoring committee later on Thursday sent an open letter to the FIFA Council, in which it recommended an "immediate suspension of the HFF (Greek Football Federation) from FIFA membership". On March 12 - the day after the PAOK incident - the Greek deputy minister of sport suspended the Greek Superleague and Greek Cup until all first division clubs had signed a declaration condemning violence and undertaken to amend the HFF disciplinary code. The MoCo unanimously recommends an immediate suspension of the HFF from FIFA membership."
