Paqueta was accused of deliberately picking up yellow cards in Premier League matches between 2022 and 2023 to financially help his family back in Brazil. However, after a thorough investigation, he has been cleared of all charges.
The report also pointed out inconsistencies between the FA's statements and those of its key witness, betting integrity investigator Tom Astley. This has raised questions about the validity of the case presented against Paqueta.
The FA has decided not to appeal the verdict, bringing an end to the matter.
