The International Tennis Integrity Authority (ITIA) announced on Friday that Jasmina Tinjic has been suspended for six years for multiple violations of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP).

The former professional tennis player from Bosnia and Herzegovina was banned from tennis for six years after reportedly admitting to multiple violations of the TACP. releaseThe offences, which took place between 2017 and 2018, are alleged to have included match fixing, aiding gambling, accepting financial benefits from poor performance and failing to report misconduct.

Tynich, who reached a career-high ranking of 236 in singles in September 2013, did not contest the ITIA's charges. The case against Tynich extends beyond the jurisdiction of the ITIA, and it was announced that she faces criminal charges for match-fixing in Sweden, where she resides, for 2022. As a result, the Swedish Tennis Federation imposed a four-and-a-half-year suspension, which applies to all sports in the country.

The ITIA hearing was postponed pending the completion of the criminal and domestic cases against Tinich. The final sentence was handed down by Independent Corruption Inquirer Janie Soubriere and confirmed his six-year suspension and fined him $20,000, of which $18,000 was suspended, the ITIA said in a statement.

The suspension will be applied retroactively to coincide with the period of eligibility imposed by the Swedish Tennis Federation and will run from May 18, 2022 to May 17, 2028. During the period of his suspension, the ITIA said, Tinjic will be prohibited from participating in, coaching or even spectating any tennis events sanctioned or approved by the ITIA or any of its member organizations, including such prominent organizations as the ATP, ITF, WTA and Grand Slam Committees.
