Italian agent Tullio Tinti, licensed by FIFA on 2 September 2023, was provisionally suspended by the FIFA General Secretariat (FIFA GS) on 16 January 2025.

The suspension was based on Article 5(1)(a)(iii) FFAR—a clause requiring that an agent must “never have been subject to suspension of two years or more … for failure to comply with rules relating to ethics and professional conduct.”

In 2012, Tinti accepted a 36-month suspension from FIGC (Italian FA) in a settlement procedure (Art. 23 CGS) and paid a EUR 80,000 fine. He resumed professional activity in 2015 and had no disciplinary issues since.

FIFA later received FIGC information in October 2023 confirming the 2012 sanction and initiated Article 17 FFAR proceedings, leading to the provisional suspension.

Tinti appealed to CAS.
