Felix Zwayer, the referee appointed for Paris Saint-Germain’s Champions League semi-final second leg clash against Arsenal previously served a six-month match-fixing ban.
The Gunners travel to France looking to overturn a 1-0 deficit.
And 43-year-old Zwayer will be the man in the middle at the Parc des Princes.
Zwayer was handed a six-month ban in 2005, after taking a £250 payment to help Robert Hoyzer fix a second-tier match in Germany between Rot-Weiss Essen and Cologne.
The official was working as a linesman at the time when he took the bribe from referee Hoyzer.
Hoyzer later admitted he received money from a Croatian gambling syndicate connected to an organised crime group. He was banned from football for life while he also was handed a prison sentence.
Zwayer was handed a six-month ban, before he went on to become a Bundesliga referee four years later in 2009.
