MADRID, Oct 23 (Reuters) - Tenerife's Argentine forward Bruno Marioni has been handed a 12-month ban for using an irregular Italian passport, the Spanish Football Federation (RFEF) announced on Wednesday.
Marioni used the passport during his time at Villarreal in the 2000-01 season.
Since moving to Tenerife, who were relegated from the Spanish first division last season, the striker has been registered as a non-European Union player.
Last year, Tenerife had Brazilian forward Barata banned for a year after the RFEF ruled that his Italian passport was false.
