The ban on the player was backdated to the provisional suspension that started on 31 March 2022 and will continue until 30 August 2029.
The 29-year-old player, with a highest ATP ranking of 664, admitted receiving money for fixing scores in matches in 2018 and also failed to report corrupt approaches to the ITIA.
Specific breaches of the 2018 edition of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) included Section D.1.b, which prohibits players from soliciting or facilitating others to make bets on the outcome or any aspect of a tennis event or competition.
Vernier Quinteros was also found in breach of Section D.1.d, which covers soliciting or facilitating any player not to give their best effort in an event.
Section D.1.f of the TACP states that individuals must not accept money, benefits, or considerations with the intention of negatively influencing a player’s best efforts.
The ITIA also cited Section D.2.b.i, which requires covered individuals to report any match-fixing approaches or requests for inside information to the ITIA as soon as possible.
The case was dealt with under the 2022 Tennis Anti-Corruption Programme (TACP) “Proposal for Disposition” framework, and the player was fined $15,000 (£12,504/€14,662), with $7,500 of the fine being suspended.
In another instance, Italian chair umpire Francesco Totaro received a provisional suspension from the ITIA over allegations of match-fixing.
Furthermore, three Tunisian chair umpires were handed lengthy bans after being found guilty of match-fixing charges.
Majd Affi, a green badge chair umpire, received a 20-year ban for 12 charges relating to events between 2017 and 2020.
Mohamed Ghassen Snene, also a green badge chair umpire, and Abderahim Gharsallah, a white badge chair umpire, were both banned for seven years for four charges relating to an event in Tunisia in 2020.
