Referee Mauro Bergonzi will not officiate in this week's matches and looks set to be dropped for a longer period after wrongly awarding two penalties against Juventus on Saturday night.
Juve lost 3-1 at Napoli having been level at 1-1 before Maurizio Domizzi converted both controversial spotkicks.
Bergonzi decided Giorgio Chiellini fouled Ezequiel Lavezzi despite replays showing he won the ball and the official pointed to the spot again after former Juve striker Marcelo Zalayeta dived over 'keeper Gianluigi Buffon.
The referee has not been selected for any of Tuesday's Serie B games or Wednesday's Serie A matches, the Italian Football Federation announced today.
Media reports have said referees' chief Pierluigi Collina could now ban Bergonzi for as much as a month and then keep him in Serie B for longer period.
Meanwhile the Disciplinary Commission have banned Zalayeta for two games for his dive, the Lega Calcio said in a statement.
