The 34-year-old, who spent his career playing in the lower
rungs of the professional game, was charged with various
offences including "directly or indirectly contriving the
outcome of an event".
The ban starts immediately.
Jakupovic reached a career high ranking of 464 in 2009 and was a
regular member of the Greek Davis Cup team, playing in 29 ties
up to last year.
His best result came in 2007 when he beat Ukraine's Alexandr
Dolgopolov, now ranked 36 in the world, in straight sets in the
fifth rubber of a tie to give Greece victory.
The Tennis Integrity Unit is an initiative of the Grand Slam
Board, the International Tennis Federation (ITF) and the ATP and
WTA Tours.
