Soccer prosecutor brings disciplinary action against Savvidis

Soccer prosecutor Constantinos Simitzoglou on Wednesday brought disciplinary action against PAOK chairman Ivan Savvidis who has been at large since Sunday night after storming onto a pitch carrying a gun in a holster. 

The Russian businessman faces a fine for threatening soccer officials and a stadium ban for three to five years. 

The Thessaloniki soccer team also faces penalties ranging from a stadium ban to points deduction and relegation. 

The development came as representatives of FIFA visited Athens in the wake of the latest crisis to rock Greek soccer.
