ISTANBUL, Oct 20 (Reuters) - The ⁠Turkish Football Federation's disciplinary committee imposed 45-day bans ⁠on 147 current and former club officials on ‌Tuesday for violating betting rules, as part of a sweeping investigation into gambling in Turkish soccer.

The Professional Football Disciplinary Board issued the penalties after ​reviewing the cases of 448 officials ⁠referred by the federation ⁠over allegations they had placed bets while serving at clubs.

The ⁠committee ‌found that 147 out of 448 individuals had violated betting rules and imposed 45-day penalties, which ⁠bar football officials from carrying out duties within ​the sport during ‌the suspension period.

Those sanctioned included Ertugrul Dogan, president of ⁠Super Lig ​club Trabzonspor, according to the committee's ruling. The board imposed no penalties in the other 301 cases after finding insufficient ⁠grounds for disciplinary action.

The TFF said in ​September that it had provisionally suspended 448 current and former club officials, who had served over the previous five years ⁠at clubs competing in Turkey's top two divisions.

The federation said at the time that those referred had been found to have placed bets while holding club positions.

The TFF has ​tightened its oversight of betting since ⁠a scandal rocked Turkish soccer last year. The federation suspended ​149 referees and 1,024 players for ‌various periods of time as ​part of the investigation.
